Call for rejection of federal state

By Philip Webster, political editor
THE Conservative party's un¬
easy truce on-Europe was
shattered last night after Nor¬

pect of-Britain leaving the
European Union and prompt¬
ed a fresh outbreak of fighting
between rival Toiy. fecfiohs: -.
The farmer Chancellor told
a fringe meeting m the
opening; day of the Bourne¬

Government did not reject
outright a federal superstate,
the issue would “poison^Twy
politics for years to come. In
another jibe at John Major he
said: “It has recently been said
that the option of leaving the
community is unthinkable. I
believe this, attitude- is
simplistic." ■■•■'■-'
He accused Mr Major of
deceiving the public into

Gaunt Thatcher shocks party faithful
By Alice Thomson
POLITICAL REPORTER
TORY representatives were
shocked yesterday by the pale
and gaunt appearance of Bar
oness Thatcher Mien ■ she
appeared on the platform
during a brief visit to the party
conference in Bournemouth.
lady Thatcher, under
strain because of the contro¬
versy over the role of her son
Mark in tiie Saudi arms deal
looked frail and tired. Her
face was pale and plastered
with rouge.
She has lost over a stone
and her dotbes size has gone
down from 14 to a ten.
Representatives compared
heir to Neil Kinnock, who
shed two stone after Labour's
defeat at the last general
election. Lord McAlpine of
West Green issued the first
wanting. “She has lost a bit of
weight but she is still looking
good." he said, pointing out
that she was only three days
from her 69th birthday.
Elizabeth Buchanan, one of
her aides, said the former
Prime Minsiter had had some
teeth out two months ago and
had been on a soup diet “She
is not on the F-plan or any¬
thing else," she said. “She is
just watching her food. Yes,
she is very tired, but sbe still
looks terrific."
Lady Thatcher has also
returned to comfort dothes.
Sbe wore her favourite colour
— imperial purple — for
breakfast and an old royal
bhie suit and battered black
patent handbag for the plat¬
form. Even her hair has
returned to the tight helmet of
the early 1980s.
She had to endure five
hours of publidty before she
.was catching a plane for
Dallas where she will receive
a university honorary degree
and see her grandchild. How¬
ever. her son Mark wiD not
meet her during her visit
Arriving at the conference
promptly at 10am, Lady
Thatcher stopped briefly to
wave for photographers be¬
fore hurrying into a hotel
chalet for a “char with John
Major. A smile was fixed on
her face as she was asked
repeatedly if her son had done
anything wrong. She mum¬
bled that she had been abso¬
lutely satisfied that the E20
billion al-Yaraamah contract
was properly negotiated.
Party managers were deter¬
mined that Mark Thatcher's
business dealings should not
derail the conference. “All
these allegations have been
denied before and 1 do not
think it profits politics to
throw unfounded allegations
around," David Hunt. Citi¬
zen's Charter Minister, said.
Alan Clark, who served Lady
Thatcher as a trade and a
defence minister, said: “I am
quite certain his mother
would never have allowed
him to talk to her about a deal
or to influence the way it was
structured."
However, Frank Dobson,
Labour campaigns co-ordina¬
tor. said Lady Thatcher must
insist on a public inquiry. “If
Mark Thatcher did get £12
million, did he pay any tax on
it?" he asked.

Booker Prize judge calls
winning work a ‘disgrace 9
By Dalya Alberge, arts correspondent
IN A decision described as “a
disgrace” by one of the judges,
a novel whose text is littered
with expletives on practically
every page has won the 1994
Booker Prize for fiction.
The £20,000 award was
presented to James Kdman,
the Glaswegian author, for
How 1 late it was. how late, at a
Guildhall ceremony in
London last night. With 21
repetitions of a four-letter
word in the first three pages,
the novel is a gritty account of
uihanpofvertyasan ex-convict
attempts to go straight in
Glasgow.
The- fool judging session
lasted more than 2 1 * hours;
with the judges keenly divid¬
ed. One privately suggested
resigning if Kelman was
picked, although one reviewer
has likened his latent to Zola
and Beckett
Rabbi Julia Neuberger. an
adjudicator, called the result
“a disgrace” and attacked the
voting system. “This was ludi¬
crous horse-trading. Another
five minutes and Hoitinghurst
would have won. We ran out
of time. It was a lottery
between Jill Baton Walsh,
Hoitinghurst and Kelman. We
took various votes [with] end¬
less co m bi na tions. It was awn-.
ptetely barmy. I’m really
unhappy. Kelman is deeply
inaccessible for a lot of people.
If there had been more women
on the jury, this would never
have happened.”
In 1971 Malcolm
Muggeridge resigned as an
adjudicator over the
shortlisted novels being “so
full of four-letter words and
every variety of sick erotica".
Ron Pollard, a consultant to
Investment Gold, the financial
bookmakers, said: “I detested
the Kelman. ft went straight
into the dustbin. It winning
will mean the complete works

Kelman’s controversial
prize-winning novel

Auberon Waugh, editor of the
Literary Review and an adjudi¬
cator " of the Whitbread
awards, said “1 wouldn't be at
all surprised if this was the
last Booker." He explained:
“Novels are going downhill,
fcople are reading less. I don't
know which comes first It's
the chicken and egg syn¬
drome." He added that he
would never read Kelman for
pleasure, dismissing such
novels as a perversion of the
literary novel.
Although writers such as
Beryl Bainbridge and Ben
Okri were amont’ the guests,
the usual smattering of politi¬
cians and leading arts figures
such Lord Gowrie and
Melvyn Bragg were conspicu¬
ous by their absence at last

Vision from the deep sails
ALBERT Reynolds, ihe Irish
Prime Minister, told John
Major yesterday that the
peace process could be endan¬
gered if the British Govern¬
ment fails to respond to the
IRA ceasefire.
.Amid signs that Dublin is
rapidly losing patience with
Britain V cautious reaction.
Mr Reynolds called on Mr
Major ro underpin the peace
process by accelerating his
response 10 the truce.
He told the Irish parlia¬
ment: “I have ^pressed my
concerns to John Major on the
telephone in recent times ...
No vacuum can be allowed to
develop which would endan¬
ger the process ... T believe
that the time has come to
accelerate the response of the
British Government to ensure
>■?- ■
i '' -
Jj
Refolds: Britain
is being too cautious
that all of us are seen to
underpin the peace process."
Mr Reynolds, who met the
Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams
last month, is irritated that Mr
Major has refused to endorse
the truce, which has held for
six weeks. However. British
officials say they cannot move
until the Government is satis¬
fied that the ceasefire is per¬
manent and until ministers
have persuaded Unionists
there are no secret deals with
Republicans.
Mr Reynolds also said he
was encouraged that Loyalist
paramilitaries were debating
whether to declare a ceasefire.
His comments followed news
that Protestant paramilitaries
at the Maze Prison near
Belfast had held discussions
with Loyalist politicians.
Leaders of a delegation, who
met members of the outlawed
Ulster Defence Association
and the Ulster Volunteer Force
at the prison, were optimistic
yesterday and said their dis¬
cussions had removed an ob¬
stacle to a Loyalist ceasefire.
Their comments came after
the Northern Ireland Office
sanctioned the Maze meeting
as Loyalists launched an in¬
tense debate on whether to call
a ceasefire.
David Ervine. of the Pro¬
gressive Unionist Party, who
met UVF members in the
Maze, said the talks had
brought a ceasefire closer.
Confidence within the Union¬
ist community was growing,
and if that could be trans¬
ferred to Loyalist inmates then
there couid be progress.
“ Northern Ireland was a very
jittery place at the time of the
IRA ceasefire. People were
frightened about secret, sur¬
reptitious deals — the creeping
pariah of republicanism. But 1
confidence has grown.”
John White, of the Ulster j
Democratic Party, who met
IfDA prisoners, said a |
ceasefire had been discussed
in great depth. Prisoners had
made clear they would reject a
political settlement which
eroded Northern Ireland’s
constitutional position within
the United Kingdom.
The IRA ceasefire has pro¬
voked one of Lhe most intense
debates among Loyalist
paramilitaries in the history of
die Troubles. Many are
reluctant to call a truce
because they have scores to
settle with the IRA and
because they fear that London
and Dublin may concocr a
political settlement above their
heads.
However. John Major's cau¬
tious reaction to die IRA
ceasefire and his pledge to
hold a referendum on the
outcome of talks in Northern
Ireland, has been warmly
welcomed by Mr Ervine.
“She’s coming." whispered a
maid-in-waiting dressed all in
white like a temple virgin.
It was 930am. Down at the
Conference Centre the Rever¬
end Geraint Edwards was

“Aren't you distressed at the

almost paused as if to suggest
she might have heard the
question then sailed on —as if
to suggest that she had decid¬
ed not to. She went in, still
purple, for coffee. “Go inside

Persil Road Show assembled
in the town centre was calling.
"Go through the tunnel of

she emerged from the hold in

JAMES Kidman has won foe
Booker Prize because of. rath¬
er than in spite of. the lan¬
guage which some of his
critics found such an offensive
barrier to understanding. It is
ten. years since a previous
Booker judge rejected a
Kidman novel because be con¬
sidered ft, one of the worst
books to have been submitted
to the competition and object¬
ed that irwas ‘’written entirely
in Glaswegian". This time
around that raw Glaswegian
tongue is pre¬
cisely the qual¬
ity the judges
have picked
out More than- .
any Scottish writer since
Hugh MacDiannid. Reiman
has sought to 'capture an
authentic voice— the voice of a
dispossessed dass from die
city’s housing schemes, a
world where few Booker
judges would care to step.
He explains die language
thus; “Au 1 want to do is to
write as well as . I can from
within my own culture and
community, always going
more deeply into ft. Ifs there¬
fore just logical that I should
write a novel like this, becom¬
ing more at home with these
linguistic rhythms.”
The language, liberally
spattered . with four-letter
words, becomes a litany, in
Reiman’s work, of suffering
and anger. It takes lhe reader
inside die head 'of his charac¬
ter, a Glasgow vagrant who
wakes up blinded after a
beating at the hands of the
police. Thereafter we follow
him as he tries to make sense
of a world he cannot see, but
which he understands from
instinct. Unlike MacDiarmid,
who drew inspiration from all
the languages of Europe to
create an artificial Scots,
Reiman^ is true to life, its
rhythm, for all its harshness,
immediately recognisable.
After a time the four-letter
words become an almost im¬
perceptible part of the
background.
His own background is the
downtrodden working-class of
Glasgow into which he was
bom m 1946. one of five sons of
a picture-restorer and frame-
gilder. He left school at 15 and
worked on a series of manual
jobs, including a spell on the
buses which inspired his first
fellow-writers from the West
of Scotland, such as Alasdair
Gray, William Mcllvanney
and Jeff Tor-
rington in radi¬
cal Scottish
campaigns for
the common
man that he feels he repre¬
sents. But political dogma

Reiman’s Scottishness may
— as it has for others, includ¬

him from southern readers,
but there is a sneaking admi¬

sheer uncomprornising nature
of his writing. His influence
on Scottish writing in general
cannot be overestimated.
There is a new generation
which has grown up in his

of dialogue and the feel for

them a view of the world

BR cuts 1,500 jobs
to prepare for sale
By Tim Jones, transport correspondent
MORE than 1.500 white-collar
British Rail staff are to lose
their jobs in the latest stage of
rail privatisation.
The redundancies will be
made at British Rail Infra¬
structure Services (BRLS).
which is subcontracted to
Rail track to maintain track
and signalling equipment
across the network.
Unions will be given details
of the cuts next week. BR said
it was confident they could be
achieved through natural
wastage or voluntary redun¬
dancy.
The job losses were con¬
demned by Labour, which
said they were a result of the
fragmenting of the railway
industry for privatisation.
Frank Dobson, shadow
Transport Secretary, warned
potential buyers of Railtraek
that a Labour government
would not be bound by any
present undertakings and
would return the railway sys¬
tem to public ownership and
control.
Mr Dobson said; “The Gov¬
ernment's original first priori¬
ty was to sell franchises to
companies to operate trains on
foe track owned by Railtraek.
The new talk of selling
Rail trade first is an admission
that the Government can’t
find anybody to buy the fran¬
chises to run privatised lines."
A spokesman for the RMT
rail union said: “There is a
dear pattern of privatisation
meaning job losses. BRLS is
trying to get rid of jobs before
they go into foe private
sector."

raises fear of
serial murderer

Lode Jones of Wallington in her tree house, the subject of a planning dispute
A MOTHER was found
stabbed to death in her home
yesterday after she returned
from taking her seven-year-
old daughter ro school.
The bod\’ of Kathleen
Hempsall. aged in her early
thirties, was found in her
semi-detached home in Lin¬
coln only 20 miles from where
a mother-of-two, Julie P&cey.
was found strangled in her
home two weeks ago.
Detectives said they had not
ruled out a link between the
two murders as fears rose that
a serial killer might be on the
loose.
Neighbours told detectives
that they heard the burglar
alarm go off at 9.15am at Mrs
Hempsall's house shortly after
she would have returned from
taking her daughter to school.
She was last seen alive after
dropping her daughter at
school around 8.30anr. Wor¬
ried relatives later alerted
police when she failed to keep
an appointment.
There were no signs of
forced entry at the house in
Longdates Road in the Castle
area of Lincoln.
Police found Mrs Hempsall
covered in blood in her living
room. Detective Chief Super¬
intendent Tom Coates, who is
leading an inquiry team of SO
officers, said the killer, who is
believed to have escaped
under a thick blanket of
fog. might be heavily
bloodstained.
Home Office forensic pa¬
thologists and scientists joined
local scenes-of-crime officers
in conducting a minute exami¬
nation of the house. An adja¬
cent field was also sealed off
and preserved for a search by
uniformed task force officers.
Last night, as police carried
out house-to-house inquiries,
shocked neighbours described
the dead woman and her
husband as "a very nice
couple".
One said; “They are a very
nice, happy family who keep
themselves to themselves. Ev¬
eryone in the road is scared
stiff. There could be a danger¬
ous nutter on the loose."
Mrs Hempsall's husband
and daughter were being
cared for by relatives last
night
Two weeks ago the body of
Julie Pacey. 38, was found by
her 14-year-old daughter Hel¬
en when she returned home
from school in Grantham.
Lincolnshire. Mrs Pacey had
been sexually assaulted and
strangled in an upstairs bath¬
room. There, had been no
break-in and police found no
signs of a struggle.
Witnesses have told police
that they saw a BMW car
parked on the Paceys’ drive
shortly before the killing. On
Monday detectives parked a
similar car on the driveway in
an attempt to jog neighbours’
Julie Pacey: body
found by daughter
memories. Detective Superin¬
tendent Roger Billingsley said
that 28 other witnesses came
forward as a result
“It was a very good response
to the exercise and confirms
the presence of this vehicle.”
Mr Billingsley said. He ap¬
pealed to the drivers of similar
BMWs, particularly from the
Grantham area, to contact the
police so they could be elimi¬
nated from the inquiry.
Lincolnshire Police also
asked colleagues in West
Yorkshire for a file on the
unsolved murder of Wendy
Speaks. Mrs Speaks, 38. was
found strangled and sexually
assaulted at her home in
Wakefield last year.

she was regularly attacked
with a rolling pin even after
she was divorced, from her
unfaithful husband.
She escaped ty eljmbisg

CROWN Estate commission¬
ers have been accused of
after demanding that
owners pay for the privi¬
lege of mooring over royal
riverbeds.
Statutes promulgated in the
reign of Edward VT, granting
. the Crown .ownership, of half
the foreshores and nver beds
in Britain, are being used to
collect revenue on the Tyne
and file Wear. After receiving
demands for sums ranging
from E50 to U5.000. seme boat
owners have refused to pay the
royal levy, which oomes on top
of existing mooring fees they
pay to local authorities.
Crown Estate commission¬
ers have now issued a High
Court writ for the £15.000
annual fee to owners of the
Tuxedo Rotate, a floating
nightclub moored under the
Tyne bridge. About £2.4 mil¬
lion a year is collected for the
Crown under the terms of the
16th-century statutes, which
say that anyone mooring on
foreshores arid river beds
owned by the monarchy must
have a Crown Estate licence.
Cinderella RockafeUa, the
Tuxedo Rcyale^ owners, have
so for refused to pay because
they say they are not anchored
to the bed of the Tyne. Geoff
Armstrong. 52. the company's
pro j ect director, said: "I can’t
believe Her Majesty is so hard
up that she needs an extra
E15.000 a year from us. We
already pay rent and rates to
Gateshead councfl for using
tiie quayside."
Gill Coates, for the Crown
Es tate*, said: "We have served
a writ on the owners of the
nightclub because they have
roused to pay tie fee."
. Chi Wears ide, owners of
fishing'and leisure craft have
banded together to fight the
charge George Fraser, 50,
who owns the 36ft cruiser
KayieiglvAnne,. said: “People
have moored here for hun¬
dreds of years without paying
a penny. Now some bright
spark bias found a dever way
of screwing a bit more money
out of the common man. It is
piracy."
Mrs Coates said that own¬
ers in other areas of the
country had been paying the
fees for years but the cbmmis-
rioners* agents in Sunderland
had only now gathered
enough information to serve,
demands.

Tebbit calls for Major to get off the single currency fence
W \
Jt
-- ■;* *
Lord Tebbil: respecl for
Parliament eroded
By Arthur Leathley
POUTICYL CORRESPONDENT
LORD Tebbit powered into the
European fray last night by telling
John Major to seize the initiative
from Germany by making dear his
opposition to a single currency. The
former Conservative Party chair¬
man challenged the Prime Minister
to move boldly or leave Britain as a
"reluctant follower, not a dynamic
leader".
Lord Tebbit entered the annual
European fringe controversy by
warning Mr Major that Britain's
indecision over the crucial issue
had led the United States to look to
Germany as Europe's leader. “That
is why Clinton believes he can push
us around even in Northern Ire¬
land as though this was a Caribbe¬
an banana republic," he told a
meeting of the European Founda¬
tion. set up by Tory opponents of
the Maastricht Treaty.
"After all, what is our policy
towards a single currency? tt is to
sit on the fence until others have
taken their derision. But study we
must in principle either favour or
disfavour such a step, not least
because it could not fad to bring
politirial union — the creation of a
Euro-state in its train." Lord
Tebbit’s efforts to press Britain to
oppose outright a single currency
have been encouraged by what he
sees as widespread nervousness
among EU members over the
prospect.
He has also been buoyed by
statements made by Mr Major and
senior Cabinet ministers, suggest¬
ing that a single currency is a long¬
term issue, if an issue at afl.
“I have tittle doubt that, even
after Maastricht when we gave
away our power of veto on this
issue; if we took a dear and firm
decision to oppose and seek to
prevent the creation of a single
currency through the treaty of
Rome, we could be successful."
He acknowledged Germany's
determination to dominate Europe;
but questioned whether such an
approach might have to be bal¬
anced by the interests of other
Europeans. “The future of Europe
depends upon tbe decisions — or
the failure to take decisions—of the
United Kingdom."
Lord Tebbit repeated his calls for
a reduction in the powers of the
European Commission, which he
said had stripped control from
Westminster. “The British people
are tolerant indeed, but for how
long will they allow this process of
demotion from the ranks of the self-
governing peoples of the world to
the status of a minority group in a
province under foreign dom¬
ination? No wonder that respect for
Parliament even the' respect of
parliamentarians for Parliament is
being so rapidly eroded- Its powers
are diminished day by day."
He attacked the European Court
for imposing retrospective deri¬
sions over which Parliament had
no control, namely allowing part-
time workers die same pension
rights as their full-time colleagues.

Foreign Secretary clashes with sceptics as civil war reopens on EU’s future Hunt has
—_ —— nn reOffib
We must not turn back
on Europe, says Hurd
By Nicholas Wood and Robert Morgan
DOUGLAS Hurd yesterday-
clashed openly with hard-line
Tory Euro-sceptics, urging his
part> r to resist “siren sounds"
imploring Britain w turn its
back on Europe.
As the Tory Right look to the
conference fringe to reopen the
civil war over the fumre of the
European Union, ihe Foreign
Secretary’ sought to rally the
party around the Govern¬
ment’s vision of a multi-speed
Eurofv in which member
stares agree a core of common
rules but are also free to
choose whether they co-oper¬
ate in ocher areas.
Mr Hurd insisted that Brit¬
ain's interests were served by
“steering Europe our wav"
rather rhan “kicking over the
table '. He played dou-n sceptic
claims that the inter¬
governmental conference was
sei on a federalist course.
“Some of our partners occa¬
sionally hanker after the old
federalist blueprint, however
faded it looks now."
But in tbe conference hall,
party activists also left Lhe
Government in no doubt of
their hostility towards greater
integration in Europe, al¬
though passions did not run
as high as during the Maas-
rrichfsaga.
One speaker. Ronald Forest,
from Pembrokeshire, brought
his audience to its feet when he
declared; “Free trade, decen¬
tralisation, enlargement, yes.
A common currency’, econ¬
omic and political integration
CONSERVATIVES
. i' -

j..
| IN BOURNEMOUTH
... No. No No.” He was also
loudly cheered when he called
for curbs on the powers of the
European Parliament and the
European Court.
The Foreign Secretary's
wider message was that in
Europe as in the rest of the
world Britain had to work
with other nations if it wanted
to advance its interests and
maintain and widen its influ¬
ence. He warned against the
attractions an inward-looking
xenophobic outlook.
"Working with others does
not mean giving in to what
others want. It does not mean
purring our national interests
second. It does mean listening
to others, realising that others
have interests and traditions
and sensitivities."
Mr Hurd said that, as the
Prime Minister had made
clear, Britain was committed
to an “open, thriving and
flexible Europe — a Europe
whose nation states accept
binding rules where they need
to. But a Europe of nations
free to choose in which other
areas they can usefully work
together at a speed they are
comfortable with".
He denied that Britain was
isolated in the debate over the
future of the EU. “There is no
occasion for mock heroics or
for self-pity." Across the Conti¬
nent, "energetic democracies"
were engaged, like Britain, in
debates about the EU's future.
While “irritations" still
enroe from Brussels, Britain
should nor sell itself short and
fail to recognise irs achieve¬
ments in Europe. Those in¬
cluded enlargement, which
would mean reforming the
Common Agricultural Policy
and the formulae for carving
up regional grants, the Gan
world trade deal, budget disci¬
pline. and subsidiarity.
"So we must not be defeatist.
There will always be siren
sounds, within our party and
beyond, suggesting we can
just turn our backs on the
awfulness of Europe ... We
must resist the temptation.
Our interest lies in steering
Europe our way. rather than
pretending we belong to
another continent... No one
wins an argument by kicking
over the table."
Most speakers were suppor¬
tive of government policy, but
Mr Forest struck a chord
when he said: “Many of us are
very concerned about the drive
to closer integration and the
loss of national sovereignty
that necessarily implies."
He said he had many
doubts about the European
Parliament and they knew
from the low turn-outs in
elections, especially in Britain,
that the voters shared those
doubts. The British people, he
said, “treat this symbol of
federalism with the contempt
it deserves” He added to loud
applause: “If we are not to
have a united states of Europe,
surely there can be no case for
an increase in the powers of
the European Parliament.”
Opening the debate Keith
Simpson, from Aldershot, said
that Britain had to stand up to
protect its interests. History
and temperament meant that
Britain could not be a minor
player in world affairs. He
dismissed the claim by the
Archbishop of Canterbury. Dr
George Carey, that Britain
was an ordinary little nation.
Amhea MacIntyre, chair¬
man. West Midlands area,
argued against any extension
of majority voting in the
European Council. It was all
right for hygiene regulations,
she said, bur noi for deriding
whether British soldiers
should be sent to fight in a war
that Britain did not believe in.
All the nation states should
preserve their identities and
be proud of their countries.

Mr Hurd yesterday: “No one wins an argument by kicking over the table"
CAP reform launched
By Robert Morgan, political staff
WILLIAM Waldegrave, the
agriculture minister, is to
launch a drive to reform the
European common agricul¬
tural policy. He told the Con¬
servative conference yesterday
that existing rules for support¬
ing fanners must change and
the British Government would
“make reform of the CAP
central to European de¬
velopments".
The agricultural support
system, introduced to give aid
to thousands of smaller farm¬
ers across tbe original six
members of the European
Union, was “the source of
huge and unnecessary ex¬
pense to consumers and tax¬
payers”. Mr Waldegrave said.
He is to set up and chair a
policy group made up of
experts on CAP reform from
within and outside Whitehall.
The task could take ten years,
he said, but he said he
believed Britton must take a
long-term view.
If die European Union ex¬
panded and embraced the
Central and Eastern Euro¬
pean countries of the old
Soviet bloc, die existing CAP
rules would mean that food
production would surge and
huge mountains of surpluses
would reappear. He estimated
that more than £10 billion
could be added to the cost of
the CAP.
Britain, which had been in
the forefront of reform in the
past was now finding allies in
Europe for its demands- for
change. In the past the policy
had driven ahead production
regardless of financial cost or
damage to the environment
“Common sense and neces¬
sity mean the CAP must
change," Mr Waldegrave sakL
He also announced plans to

tenant farms, which was
introduced in 1976. He said it
had led to the drying up of

no regrets
on Delors
attack
By Jill Sherman
POLITICAL CORRESPON DENT
DAVID HUNT, reputedly one
of the most pro-European
members of the Cabinet, yes¬
terday refused to apologise for
the increasingly Euro-scepnc
stance he has taken over the
past 12 months.
Mr Hunt astonished many
of his Cabinet colleagues at
last year's conference whim he
made a highly sceptical speech
on Europe, which appeared to
conflict with his pro-European
past However, the Chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster told
a fringe meeting held by the
pro-European Tory Reform
Group that he had no regrets
for describing Jacques Delors.
president of the European
Commission, as a "jumped-up
bureaucrat and Eurocrat".
Mr Hunt, president of the
group, said yesterday: “1 don't
change a word of that." Mr
Deters' strong belief in cen¬
tralism had helped to under¬
mine the vision of Europe he
(Mr Hunt) had dreamt of.
While reaffirming his sup¬
port for Britain at the heart of
Europe, Mr Hunt adopted the
sceptical tone used by the
Prime Minister during the
European elections.
The great “European enter¬
prise" no longer captured
people’s imagination. “The
Danish 'no' and the narrow
French ‘yes'... and our own
travails in Parliament last
year warn .us that, with the
Maastricht Treaty, Eutppe’s
politicians took, a section of
ptibiie opinion fargnmteh,..
The. beedleks sdranfi-
dence Of the 1980s has gone,
and popular enthusiasm for
the Oman has waned; We
must now show that weuhder-
srand these warnings.” •
Mr Hum hfr qut at bureau¬
cracy, ower-n^jnlatfon and
over-centralisation in Europe,
arguing that the Conservative
case was for “a Europe of
closely linked nation states all
committed to free trade and
social market economy".
Hunt: “I don't change
a word of that”
The two Normans boldly go
where ‘bastards’ fear to tread
N orman Lamont and
Norman Tebbit yes¬
terday said in public
what Michael Portillo and
tbe other Cabinet “bastards"
believe in private. They en¬
visage a separation — in Mr
Lamont's case even a di¬
vorce. though with access —
between Britain and the
European Union. By saying
as much they threaten the
fragile Tory consensus on
Europe which John Major
and Douglas Hurd have
created. Tbe speeches yester¬
day by Mr Hurd and Lord
Howe, on the one hand, and
Mr Lamont and Lord Tebbit,
on the other, are in the long-
run irreconcilable.
The Major-Hurd ap¬
proach lias sought to
marimise common ground,
such as enlargement and the
single market and to post¬
pone issues of difference,
particularly further integra¬
tion. Central is their claim
that, far from being isolated,
Britain's views on decentral¬
isation and a flexible Europe
are increasingly shared by
its partners.
It is that which the two
Normans explicitly deny —
paradoxically agreeing with
foe more enthusiastic pro-
Europeans that the Franco-
German inner core is as
determined as ever to press

UUfi a viwrwa vi* uvvluuut
Son and a flexible Europe
increasingly shared by
ahead towards monetary
and political union. Mr
Lamont, who can hardly
restrain his lade of enthusi¬
asm for the Prime Minister,
argued that “we deceive the
British people and ourselves
if we claim that we are
winning the argument in
Europe”. He dismissed Mr
Major’s analysis as “wishful
thinking".
The argument is not dear
cut Britain can claim influ¬
ence in areas such as
subsidiarity and inter-gov¬
ernmental co-operation. But
on the bigger question of the
direction of Europe, the two
Normans are right to argue
that there is a real diver¬
gence of objectives between
Britain and modi of Europe.
Britain is not doomed to be
on a collision course with its
partners, a s Mr I amnp*
suggests. But the process
implies political goals reject¬
ed by many Tories.
From die opposite pos¬
ition, Lord Howe admits the
same predicament over long¬
term goals. In an interview
in the Tory Reform Group’s
magazine, be says: “our part¬
ners wll see us as so much
committed to d la carte that
we aren’t really admissible to
table tTh&te. If we merely
deploy hostility towards the
two speed argument, and
insist that the outer group
has the right to proceed at ft
speed so slow that its pace is
imperceptible, our partners
may see us as so half-hearted
as to be excluded In practice
from their future plans".
These choices cannot be
fudged indefinitely. They are
producing increasing strains
not only among the gran¬
dees, past and present but
also among foe reduced, and
much-abused, band of Tory
members of tbe European
Parliament. The issue is how
Britain exercises its influ¬
ence. Mr Lamont believes a
quasi-independent role is
possible, mot just blocking
further political integration
but in loosening toasting ties
via membership of the free:
bade European Economic
Area or via outer tier com¬
munity membership.
These are much riskier
options than Mr Lamont
suggests, or Lord Tebbit
implies with parallel propos¬
als which would do away
with the European Parlia¬
ment In effect, they would
mean withdrawal from the
present European Union.
Lord Howe argued that “for

Solicitors face £30m
payout as claims
of dishonesty soar
By Frances Gibb, legal correspondent
THE cost of compensating
victims of dishonest solicitors
is expected to reach a record of
nearly £30 million by the end
of this year as the number of
complaints against the profes¬
sion soars.
The Solicitors Complaints
Bureau said yesterday that
about 100 firms were being
investigated on suspicion of
defrauding the legal aid fund.
The suspected frauds, which
are being investigated by the
Legal Aid Board and the
Serious Fraud Office, are
thought to involve several
million pounds. So far four
firms have been closed.
Last year there were 2,500
cases of dishonesty by solici¬
tors, the bureau's annual re¬
port shows. The rising cost of
compensation is coupled with
a continuing increase in
complaints.
The report says that com¬
plaints rose by 15 per cent last
year to 90,582 and added that
the increase was a cause of
concern.
Veronica Lowe, the bureau
director, said: “We are work¬
ing in the age of the empow¬
ered consumer. The public is
malong higher demands of its
professional advisers, as it
does with all service
providers."
The bureau, which costs the
legal profession £5 million a
year to run. has launched a
number of measures to
counter fraud, including the
legal aid scams, the report
says. These include an investi¬
gation team which in tum led
last year to the setting up of
"Operation Crackdown", in
which serious offenders are
put on a fast track to the
Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribu¬
nal. Seventy solicitors were
referred under this procedure
last year.
The tribunal dealt with a
total of230 referrals for profes¬
sional misconduct last year.
The majority of those found
guilty were either struck off or
fined.
Chris Heaps, chairman of
the Law Society’s adjudication
and appeals committee, said
yesterday: “A total of230 out of
64,000 solicitors in the country
is a very small percentage of
the profession and I think that
the profession is entitled, in an
odd way, to be proud of these
figures."
The majority of solicitors
were honest and committed to
the highest standards, he said.
The Law Society could be
proud that, through the com¬
plaints bureau and compensa¬
tion fund, it provided a level of
protection to the public which
was “probably unparalleled in
the world". He added that the
profession paid back all the
money lost by the public.
The bureau inspected 516
sets of solicitors' accounts in
1993. a rise of 41 per cent over
the year before, and inter¬
vened or took over in the
running of S5 practices. A “red
alert" telephone line was set
up on which solicitors could
report in confidence on their
colleagues. This received sev¬
eral hundred calls.
The legal aid frauds involve
solicitors charging for work
not done or not needed under
the green form (advice]
scheme. Another dodge re¬
vealed by the bureau yester¬
day was that solicitors had
been paying members of the
public E5 or E10 a time for
signatures on bills.
The biggest area of com¬
plaint against solicitors is still
over shoddy work or made-
quate service, with 80 per cent
of complaints to the bureau
relating to delays or poor
communication.
Most were dealt with by the
bureau’s conciliation unit
without the need for die solici¬
tor to be formally investigated.
The main single area of com¬
plaints were about conveyanc¬
ing, followed by civil
litigation, matrimonial work
and probate.
The report says: “Most cli¬
ents who complain about their
solicitors do so not because of
any ethical misdemeanours
but because they are frustrat¬
ed by what they see as a poor
standard of service."

Theatre world unveils video archive
SIR Ian McKellen and Dame Diana
Rigg gave their s uppo rt yesterday to a

Performance, winch aims to create foe
first permanent film record of British
theatre (Alexandra Frean writes).
Sir Ian said he hoped the archive
would preserve a vital part of the
nation’s boitage for the benefit of
drama students; sdtookftuldren, pro¬

Dame Diana said she hoped that the
archive could eventually become a
money-spinner. “If you wanted to sell a
production to a Broadway producer
yon could show itim the video recording

case for staying free. His wife, Salwa AI
Rufajee. was also found to be in
contempt and was also given 28 days
before sentence is passed. Neither has
legal aid at present and the judge said he
held back from imposing immediate jail
sentences because they had not had foe
chance to be heard. In addition, both
were now living in Arizona.
In July the same judge ordered Dr
H ashim to repay foe Arab Monetary
Fund £33 milli on he stole from them
while he was their president £6.6 million
legal costs and £933 million in com¬
pound interest The judge yesterday
found him guilty of four contempts of
court orders dating back to December
1988 over non-disclosure of bank ac¬
counts, and dealing with assets in an
attempt to frustrate court orders freezing
his assets.
Hashim won legal aid even though he
has seven homes with servants andafleet
of cars, including a Spanisb-style villa at
Denham, Buckinghamshire. The Lord
Chancellor, Lord Mackay of Clash f ern,
said on Monday that Hashim’s four
barristers were paid a total of £13 million
with £671,111 going to Colin Ross-Munro,
QG for work on foe case over two and a
half years.
A MAN'S claim that he was
denied a fair trial and initial
appeal hearing on a drug
charge because of improper
contact between three judges
was rejected by foe Court of
Appeal yesterday.
Paul Blanchard. 49, was
jailed for six years by Judge
Macdonald at Newcastle
Crown Court in 1992 for
conspiracy to supply the drug
Ecstasy. Seeking leave to ap¬
peal, he claimed Judge Mac¬
donald had telephone con¬
versations about the case with
Mr Justice Mortimer, of foe
Hang Kong Supreme Court*
who as a QC had unsuccess¬
fully defended Blanchard on a
charge of fraudulent trading.
Blanchard also alleged that
Mr Justice Blofeld. who
turned down his initial appeal
application, spoke on the tele¬
phone to the other two judges.
The allegations were strenu¬
ously denied.
Diana Ellis, Blanchard’s
counsel, said she was unable
to argue the point because;
according to 'a recent state¬
ment by Bbnchaid, foe
source of foe i m properly ob¬
tained information about the
alleged telephone calls was
unwitting to give details on*

t^^pOING for sand and

indicate that the seabed fails to

The marine organisms,

on die seabed play a vital part

Marine dredging is being
jwsn by some planners as a
less environmentally damag¬

of supplying the construction
industries with materials.

10 CONSERVATIVE CONFERENCE
THE ti m rs WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 12^4
Tebbit calls for Major to get off the single
■■■" . * > ■ . AV V
' ":T
Lord Tebbic respect for
Parliament eroded
By Arthur Leathley
POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT
LORD Tebbit powered into the
European fray last night by telling
John Major to seize the initiative
from Germany by making dear his
opposition to a single currency. The
former Conservative Party chair¬
man challenged the Prime Minister
to move boldly or leave Britain as a
"reluctant follower, not a dynamic
leader”.
Lord Tebbit entered the annual
European fringe controversy by
warning Mr Major that Britain’s
inded5ion over the crndal issue
had led the United States to look to
Germany as Europe's leader. "That
is why Clinton believes he can push
us around even in Northern Ire¬
land as though this was a Caribbe¬
an banana republic," he told a
meeting of the European Founda¬
tion. set up by Tory opponents of
the Maastricht Treaty.
“After alL what is our policy
towards a single currency? It is to
sit on the fence until others have
taken their dedsion. But surely we
must in principle either favour or
disfavour such a step, not least
because it could not fail to bring
politidai union — the creation of a
Euro-state in its train.” Lord
Tebbifs efforts to press Britain to
oppose outright a single currency
have been encouraged by what he
sees as widespread nervousness
among EU members over the
prospect
He has also been buoyed by
statements made by Mr Major and
senior Cabinet ministers, suggest¬
ing that a single currency is a long¬
term issue, if an issue at aTL
“I have little doubt that even
after Maastricht when we gave
away our power of veto on this
issue, if we took a dear and firm
dedsion to oppose and seek to
prevent die creation of a single
currency through the treaty of
Rome, we could be successful"
He acknowledged Germany's
determination to dominate Europe,
but questioned whether such an
approach might have to be bal¬
anced by the interests of other
Europeans. "The future of Europe
depends upon the decisions — or
the failure to take decisions—of the
United Kingdom."
Lord Tebbit repeated his calls for
a reduction in the powers of the
European Commission, which.he
said had stripped control from
Westminster. “The British people
are tolerant indeed, but for bow
long anil they allow this process of
demotion from the ranks of the self-
governing peoples of the world to
the s tab* of a minority groupiffl a
province undo" foreign dom¬
ination? No wonder that respect tor
Parliament, even the respect of
pa rliam entarians for Pari lament, IS
being so rapidly eroded. Its powers
are diminished day by day."
He attacked the European Court
for imposing retrospective ten¬
sions over which Parliament had
no control namely allowing part-
time workers the same pension
rights as their fuil-tiine collea g u es .
-Casually, wantonly, whfa die lack
of arc or respect for 'fong^
established conventions hitherto
demonstrated only by iropaal
powers towards coto fliai suhje ab,
the European Grant imposed its
decree with retrospectwp dfat" :
“It offends our sense of fair play

Foreign Secretary clashes with sceptics as civil war reopens on EU’s future
We must not turn back
on Europe, says Hurd
By Nicholas Wood and Robert Morgan
DOUGLAS Hurd yesrerday
clashed openly wiih hard-line
Tory Euro-sceptics, urging his
pariy to resist "siren sounds"
imploring Britain to rum its
back on Europe.
As the Tory - Right rook to the
conference fringe to reopen the
civil war over the future of the
European Union, ihe Foreign
Secretary sought ro rally ihe
party around the Govern¬
ment’s vision of a multi-speed
Europe in which member
stares agree a core of common
rules but are also Free ro
choose whether they co-oper¬
ate in other areas.
Mr Hurd insisted rhar Brit¬
ain’s interests were served by
“steering Europe our way"
rather than “kicking over the
table". He played down sceptic
claims that the 19Mb inter¬
governmental conference was
set on a federalist course.
“Some of our partners occa¬
sionally hanker after the old
federalist blueprim. however
faded it looks now."
But in the conference hall,
party activists also left the
Government in no doubt of
their hostility towards greater
integration in Europe, al¬
though passions did not run
as high as during the Maas¬
tricht saga.
One speaker. Ronald Forest,
from Pembrokeshire, brought
his audience to its feet when he
declared; “Free trade, decen¬
tralisation. enlargement, yes.
A common currency, econ¬
omic and political integration
CONSERVATIVES
IN BOURNEMOUTH
... No, No No." He was also
loudly cheered when he called
for curbs on the powers of the
European Parliament and the
European Court.
The Foreign Secretary's
wider message was that in
Europe as in the rest of the
world Britain had to work
with other nations if it wanted
to advance its interests and
maintain and widen its influ¬
ence. He warned against the
attractions an inward-looking
xenophobic outlook.
“Working with others does
not mean giving in to what
others want It does not mean
putting our national interests
second. It does mean listening
to others, realising that others
have interests and traditions
and sensitivities."
Mr Hurd said that, as the
Prime Minister had made
clear, Britain was committed
to an “open, thriving .and
flexible Europe — a Europe
whose nation states accept
binding rules where they need
to. But a Europe of nations
free to choose in which other
areas they can usefully work
together at a speed they are
comfortable with”.
He denied that Britain was
isolared in the debate over the
future of the EU. “There is no
occasion for mock heroics or
for self-pity." Across the Conti¬
nent, “energetic democracies"
were engaged, like Britain, in
debates about the EU's future.
While “irritations" still
came from Brussels. Britain
should not sell itself short and
fail to recognise its achieve¬
ments in Europe. Those in¬
cluded enlargement, which
would mean reforming the
Common Agricultural Policy
and the formulae for carving
up regional grants, the Gan
world~rrade deal, budget disci¬
pline, and subsidiarity.
“So we must not be defeatist.
There will always be siren
sounds, within our party and
beyond, suggesting we can
just turn our backs on the
awfulness of Europe ... We
must resist the temptation.
Our interest lies in steering
Europe our way. rather than
pretending we belong to
another continent... No one
wins an argument by kicking
over the table."
Most speakers were suppor¬
tive of government policy, but
Mr Forest struck a chord
when he said: “Many of os are
very concerned about the drive
to closer integration and the
loss of national sovereignty
that necessarily implies."
He said he had many
doubts about the European
Parliament and they knew
From the low turn-outs in
elections, especially in Britain,
that the voters shared those
doubts. The British people, he
said, “treat this symbol of
federalism with the contempt
it deserves". He added to loud
applause; “If we are not to
have a united states of Europe,
surely there can be no case for
an increase in the powers of
the European Parliament."
Opening the debate, Keith
Simpson, from Aldershot, said
that Britain had to stand up to
protea its interests. History
and temperament meant that
Britain could not be a minor
player in world affairs. He
dismissed the claim by the
Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr
George Carey, that Britain
was an ordinary little nation.
Anthea MacIntyre, chair¬
man, West Midlands area,
argued against any extension
of majority voting in the
European Council. It was all
right for hygiene regulations,
site said, but not for deciding
whether British soldiers
should be sent to fight in a war
thai Britain did not believe in.
All the nation states should
preserve their identities and
be proud of their countries.

to thousands of smaller (aim¬
ers across the original six
members of the European
Union, was “foe source of
huge and unnecessary ex¬
pense to consumers and tax¬
payers”, Mr Waldegrave said.
He is to set up and chair a
policy group made up of
experts on CAP reform from
within and outside Whitehall
The task could take ten years,
he said, but he said he
believed Britain must take a
long-term .view.
If foe European Union ex¬
panded and embraced foe
Central and Eastern Euro¬
pean countries of the old
Soviet bloc, foe easting CAP
rules would mean that food
production would surge and
huge mountains of surpluses
would reappear. He estimated
that more than £10 billion
could be added to the cost of
the CAP.

the forefront of. reform in the

The two Normans
%
where ‘bastards’ fear to
N o rman Lamont and
Norman Tebbit yes¬
terday said in public
what Michael Portillo and
the other Cabinet “bastards”
believe in private. They en¬
visage a separation—in Mr
LamonTs case even a di¬
vorce. though with access —
between Britain and foe
European Union. By saying
as much they threaten foe
fragile Tory consensus on
Europe which John Major
and Douglas Hunt have
created. The speeches yester¬
day by Mr Hurd and Lord
Howe, on foe one hand, and
Mr Lamont and Lord Tebbit
on the other, are in foe long-
run irreconcilable.
The Major-Hurd ap¬
proach has sought to
maximise common ground,
such as enlargement and foe
single market, and to post¬
pone issues of difference,
particularly further integra¬
tion. Central is their Haim
that, far from being isolated.
Britain’s views on decentral¬
isation and a flexible Europe
are increasingly shared by
its partners.
Tt is that which the two
Normans explicitly deny —
paradoxically agreeing with
the more enthusiastic pro-
Europeans that foe Franco-
German inner core is as
determined as ever to press
T m
ahead towards monetary
and political union. Mr
Lamont, who can hardly
restrain his lack of enthusi¬
asm for the Prime Minister,
argued that “we deceive the
British people and ourselves
if we claim that we are
winning foe argument in
Europe". He dismissed Mr
Major’s analysis as “wishful
thinking".
The argument is not dear
cot Britain can daim influ¬
ence in areas such as
subsidiarity and inter-gov¬
ernmental co-operation. But
on foe bigger question of the
direction of Europe, , the two
Normans are right to argue
that there is a real diver¬
gence of objectives between
Britain and much of Europe.
Britain is not doomed to-be
on a collision course with ies
partners, as Mr Lamont
suggests. But the process
implies political goals reced¬
ed by many Tories.
From the opposite pos¬
ition, Lord Howe admits foe
same predicament over long¬
term goals. In an interview
in the Tory Reform Group's
magazine, he says “our part¬
ners will see us as so much
committed to & la carte that
we aren't really admissible to
table cThdte. . If we merely
deploy hostility towards foe
two speed argument .rad
insist that foe outer group
has the right to proceed at a
speed so slow that its paoe!is
imperceptible, our paririos
may see us as so halfhearted,
as to be-excluded'in. practice
from their future plans". -
These choices cannot be
fudged indefinitely. They are
pro duc ing increasing st rains
not only among the' gran¬
dees, past rad present, but
also among the reduced, and
much-abused, band of Tory
members of foe European'
Parliament Tbe issue is bow
Britain exexrises its influx

quasi-independent role : is
possible; not just btoddng
further political-integration
bat in loosening existing tier
via membership.of the free-,
trade European Economic
Area or via outer tier com¬
munity membership.
These are much riskier
options than Mr Lammy
suggests, or - Lord Tebbit
implies with parallel propos¬
als which. would do away
with the European Pallia?
meat In effect, they would
mean withdrawal from the
present European. Union.

Solely in fee European Economic
Area. One day it may mean con¬
templating withdrawal. It has re¬
cently been said that the option of
leaving fee Community was un¬
thinkable. I bebeve this attitude is
rather simplistic.
“Today, when we come to exam¬
ine fee advantages of our member¬
ship of fee EU. they are
remarkably elusive. As a former
Chancellor. 1 can only say fear I
cannot pinpoint a single concrete
economic advantage that unambig¬
uously cranes to this country
because of our membership."
Mr Lamont dismissed the argu¬
ment feat British membership is
the main reason why it receives a
generous share of inward invest¬
ment. He suggested that factors
such as the English language, good
industrial relations, low inflation,
the opt-out from fee social chapter
and a fnee-market industrial policy
were more important.
"Membership of the EU is not
the only way Britain can obtain
access to Europe's markets. Mem¬
bership of the EEA would achieve
this and, in any case, in the low-
tariff world of Gatt, Europe is no
longer fee protected fortress it once
was. Alas, when one cranes to list
all the disadvantages of the Euro¬
pean Union these are all too easy to
elaborate."
He listed fee -drawbacks as fee
high cost of fee Cranmrai Agricul¬
tural Policy and of Britain’s contri¬
bution to me EU budget
The indirect costs, though, are
more significant Compared to fee
rest of fee world Europe is a high-
tax, high-spending area burdened
wife government regulations and
consequently with high unemploy¬
ment. In 1979 Britain elected a
Government dedicated to reducing
the role of the State in the economy
and reducing the burden of tax¬
ation. The impulse in Europe is in
fee opposite direction. .
“Our continued membership of
Europe means that, reluctantly, we
are participating in a process
leading to a political goal feat most
politicians claim they do not want
and which is certainly not wanted
by the people of this country.
Unless this central reality is ac¬
knowledged. the issue of Europe
wifi continue to dominate our
politics and poison fee Conserva¬
tive Party for many years to come.
“If Britain were not a member of
the EU today I do not believe there
would be a case to join- It is
nonsense to suggest feat it could
not be viable on its own. There is no
reason why it should not be as
viable cm its own as are Australia.
Canada or Japan.
T do not suggest that Britain
should today unilaterally with¬
draw from Europe. But fee issue
may well return to the political
agenda. Britain is on a collision
course wife its partners unless we
can find, a means of resolving fee
different aspirations.
“One alternative would be for
Britain to say act the 1996IGC feat
we do not want to participate in any
further political development in
Europe, that we do not want more
powers for fee European Parlia¬
ment, nor do we want any more
majority voting and we do not want
to participate in the single curren¬
cy. Britain would simply declare
‘Here we stand' and ‘No further*.
Of course, we could use our veto to
block moves to further political
integration but I do not believe that
this would be sensible. Much better
would be to devise arrangements
that, as far as possible, enabled
British industry to exploit the
opportunities created by trade
C The lesson of
Maastricht is that the
Tories will not go any
further down the road
to a federal Europe ?
liberalisation in Europe without
participating in or being bound to
fee creation of a federal Europe.
“A second alterrative would be
for Britain to seek membership of
the EEA rather than of the Union.
It would then be part of a free trade
area rather than a customs union.
There would be freedom of goods,
services and capital. But we could
scrap fee CAP and negotiate our
own trade agreements. We would
also withdraw from the European
Parliament. If we didn't like a new
directive we would not have to
implement iu although exporters
would have to conform to it
“A third, more considered, alter¬
native would be for Britain to set
out to negotiate an outer-tier Com¬
munity membership which invol¬
ved only fee free-trade parts of the
Treaty of Rome While this would
have similarities to membership of
the EEA. it would be preferable in
that it would give outer-tier mem¬
bers an equal say in fee trading
rules which apply to them.
“None of these alternatives is
without its problems but they are
infinitely preferable to the present
situation.
“Fared with fee UK following
any of these options, fee Germans
and French would go ahead,
establishing an inner-care Europe
around a monetary union. 1 do not
see why anyone in Britain should
regret inis or wish to prevent it.
“We have been told feat it would
not be in our interest to have a two-
speed Europe wife some countries
integrating faster than others. But
what have we to fear if others
choose a different destination and
different institutions for governing
themselves? In any case it is not two
speeds at all. It is two completely
different directions.
The 1996 IGC will force Britain
to make a fundamental choice. The
lesson of Maastricht is feat the
Conservative Party’ will not go any
further down fee road to a federal
Europe. The Maastricht treaty
meant feat fee key derision on
whether Britain should participate
in fee single currency was post¬
poned. In 1996 questions about
Britain subscribing to a Europe
wife an avowedly federal character
will have to be confronted.
“Being pan of a federal Europe is
not what the British people or fee
Conservative Parry want. How¬
ever, the Labour Party is increas¬
ingly becoming the party of fee
Euro-federalists.
“The role of fee Conservative
Party is dear. The Conservative
Party is fee party of the nation. It is
not the party of Europe, It is only
fee party of Europe when Europe
serves fee nation.”

12 CONSERVATIVE CONFERENCE
Powell re-enters fray with a plea to preserve the Union
Blair is
By Arthur Leathley
POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT
ENOCH Powell. the veteran
Unionist and former Conser¬
vative MP. returned to the
Tory conference fringe yester¬
day'to demand that Britain
protect the majority popula¬
tion of Northern Ireland.
Mr Powell challenged John
Major to retreat from com¬
ments that Britain would
agree to a united Ireland, and
pressed for continued com¬
mitment to safeguard the
Union in any future discus¬
sions on Ulster. The former
MP for Wolverhampton
South West and later South
Down was cheered when he
told a fringe meeting
organised by the right-wing
Conservative Way Forward
that Britons needed to protect
the population of Northern
Ireland.
“Unionists' devotion to the
Union is more than a senti¬
ment on the part of the people
of Northern Ireland. It is a
realisation that the Union is
their one protection against
being taken out of the nation
to which they believe they
belong. Believing you belong
to a nation is belonging to that
nation."
He criticised politicians for
being led by Whitehall offici¬
als. “By agreeing to the
wheeze offered to him by his
officials, he [Mr Major)
thought he couid achieve
what no one before him has
achieved," said Mr Powell,
adding that the Prime Minis¬
ter would Face the problems of
his predecessors in reaching
agreement with Republicans.
Sir Patrick Mavhew. the
Northern Ireland Secretary,
will face grass root protests
tomorrow over the Govern¬
ment’s signing of the Joint
Declaration last December.
Mr Powell spoke to the
most fervent Tory opponents
of a united Ireland, but a
succession of conference mo¬
tions from Conservative asso¬
ciations also demand that the
Government protects Ulster's
right to remain in the United
Kingdom. Conservative cam¬
paigners are pressing for an
amendment to be called dur¬
ing the Northern Ireland de¬
bate. establishing a commit¬
ment to protecting the Union.
North Down, the larger
constituency association in
Northern Ireland, which is
tabling the amendment de¬
mands that the Government
"state unequivocally that it
values every part of the Uni¬
ted Kingdom and that all its
citizens are better off staying
British".
Mr Major's efforts towards
securing a ceasefire have won
enthusiastic backing else¬
where from supporters and
political opponents, but some
Tories fear he is moving too
quickly away from past com¬
mitments to maintaining the
Union. They are fear that
devolution of power to North-
Ireland could lead to
em
Scotland and Wales pressing
for a further break-up of the
Union.
Mr Powell insisted that
past British governments* in¬
dication that Northern Ire¬
land could move out of die
United Kingdom has “provid¬
ed continuing support ami
maintenance of the IRA”. He
denied that the ceasefire
would be permanent. "The
IRA will resume its activities
as soon as it realises that if
cannot realise its objectives."
Douglas Hurd, the Foreign
Secretary, told the conference
that derisions would be takeH
on the “impregn a ble rode of
principle'* that “the future of
Northern Ireland depends on
the people of Northern. Ire¬
land". He said: “Those who
try to evade this principle,

Cabinet split
over plans
for national
identity card
By Philip Webster .and Nicholas Wood
FIERCE divisions have erupt¬
ed inside the Cabinet over
proposals from Michael How¬
ard to bring in a nationwide
identity card scheme.
The Home Secretary has
secured the Prime Minister's
backing to announce to the
Conservative conference to¬
morrow plans for a Green
Paper setting our options for a
voluntary scheme.
But the eventual introduc¬
tion of a workable plan re¬
mains open to question
because of doubts raised by a
number of key Cabinet minis¬
ters including Peter Lilley. the
Social Security Secretary,
Kenneth Clarke, the Chancel¬
lor. and Douglas Hurd, the
Foreign Secretary.
The idea of a compulsory
scheme favoured by many
Tory MPs has been resisted
inside a Cabinet commirree
chaired by David Hunt, the
Prime Minister's Cabinet
trouble shooter. But Mr How¬
ard has been given clearance
to make his announcement
because of Mr Major's firm
interest in exploring all possi¬
bilities and support from other
minshers such as Brain
Mawhinney. the Transport
Secretary.
According to some sources
the Green Paper will be “very
green", with the option of
doing nothing remaining a
possibility. Ministers have
been discussing the idea of a
voluntary card which could be
used both as the new driving
licence with photograph, and
the British visitors* passport
Under one scheme it could
become a passport for use
inside the EU only. The stron¬
gest opponent in the commit¬
tee discussions has been Mr
Lilley. who objects to the idea
on civil liberty' grounds,
because it will not help to clear
up benefit fraud and because
it will remove some of the
traditional character of British
life.
Mr Clarke has voiced
doubts on political as well as
financial grounds. Mr Hunt is
reported to be “ambivalent"
and Mr Hurd is far from
convinced. Arguments against
a compuJsoo' card are that it
would require new laws
making it an offence not to
carry the card. It would mean
the return of "sus" laws and
ministers are not prepared to
go that far.
Opponents say a voluntary
card would be the worst of ail
worlds, because it would not
catch the people at whom the
scheme is aimed.
In the summer. Dr
Mawhinney' was cautious
about the possibility of con¬
verting to ID cards the pro¬
posed new "smart card"
driving licences bearing a
photograph of the holder. He
insisted thar his moves to¬
wards new-style licences had
no bearing on separate Cabi¬
net discussions over ID cards.
At the time. Labour protested
that the Government was
trying to introduce ID cards
by the back door.
However, it was clear last
night from ministerial sources
that the Government sees
merit in having a single card
covering a range of uses.
Ministers see it as potentially
valuable weapon for the police
in the battle against crime.
ADRIAN BROOKS (

sued toe strongest warning so

against moving to the right to

of the most brazen squats hi
political history".

away from die centre ground
In an address to the Tory
Reform group in Bourne¬
mouth last night he said that
they must resist the tempta¬

moved dorer to their ideas.
He went on: That may be
called the Michael- Foot error

believed, as Mr Bom still
believes, that people failed to

was not sufficiently extreme.

Bullish Hanley makes amends for gaffes
By Philip Webster
POLITICAL EDITOR
JEREMY Hanley fought back from a
shaky start as Conservative chairman
to win a lengthy ovation yesterday for
a speech in which he predicted that
John Major would lead the party to a
fifth general election victory.
Mr Hanley, whose early weeks at
Conservative Central Office have been
marred by embarrassing gaffes, re¬
ceived a warm reception after speak¬
ing of a “Conservative revival, starting
right here and starting right now".
He delighted party activists with a
fierce attack on Tony Blair — “nice
new Mr Blair" — and described him
as a man without memory and
apparently without conscience. He
said that Mr Blair might dream of a
new sodalism “but his party remains a
nightmare of old sodalism".
After an uncomfortable time in the
radio and television studios recently.
Mr Hanley appeared to have found
his ideal stage and his knockabout
style went down welL The loudest
applause came when he paid tribute to
the leadership qualities of the Prime
Minister.
Mr Hanley said: "We are proud to
be led by him. proud of his achieve¬
ments and proud he will take us to
victory again: a victory not through
deals and pacts with other parties, not
by casting aside our long-held princi¬
ples and values because of a lust for

our dedication and on the realities of
our achievements."
Praising John Major's initiative on
Northern Ireland, Mr Hanley called
him “the right man in toe right place
at toe right time”.
He mocked Labour’s claim to be the
parly of law and order, contrasting the
party's derision to abstain on key parts
of the Criminal Justice Bill with Mr
Blair's talk of being tough on crime
and tough on the causes of crime. The
Tory chairman declared: “We ate the
only parly of law and order and we
will never stop being the party of law
and order.”
Mr Hanley said he was sick of those
who sought to belittle toe Govern¬
ment's achievements, including-an
economy that was growing faster than
in any country in Europe.- Heac-
knbwledged party supporters .wanted-
to see that recovery translated into
confidence, jobs and prosperity, and
pledged: “We can achieve it"
He added that on visits around
Britain: “I have found a parly which is
determined to fight back and win.
Again and again in toe last 15yeais the
pundits have written us off. But again
and again we Conservatives have
bounced back."
Mr Hanley challenged Labour
“How could a party which has been
wrong on just about everything in the
last 15 years possibly be the right party
for Britain in toe next few yeazs? Blair
talks of full employment but he wants
a minimum wage, which every inde¬
pendent expert agrees would destroy
jobs.
“Blair says he stands up for Britain
but he wants a massive transfer of
power and sovereignty to. Brussels

Regions win right to transatlantic flights
By Jill Sherman, political correspondent
REGIONAL airports are to be
opened up to transatlantic
flights. Brian Mawhinney dis¬
closed last night as he an¬
nounced a series of transport
initiatives.
The Transport Secretary
told the conference he would
implement the “largest, unilat¬
eral air transport liberal¬
isation this country has seen”
as he set out details of his
programme over the next
year. He would approve
“without preconditions" all
new services by British or
American airlines from any¬
where in the United States to
airports such as Manchester.
Birmingham. Newcastle. Ed¬
inburgh. Cardiff. Belfast
Sransted and Luton.
The announcement places
pressure on the Americans to
come back to the negotiating
table to sort out long-standing
and restrictive bilateral air
regulations.
Dr Mawhinney said: “New
services will allow passengers
to board transatlantic flights
much closer to home. In time,
it will offer more competition,
more choice, more frequency
of service and the prospect of
keener feres,"
He also confirmed that pho¬
tographs would be carried on
driving licences from July 1996
following a consultation exer¬
cise which showed that 35 per
cent of respondents supported
the plan.
Dr Mawhinney announced
that he had instructed
Rail track ro ensure that train
services from the regions to
continental capitals, via the
Channel Tunnel, could start
operating within 16 months.
The first services to Paris
and Brussels from Glasgow,
Manchester and Birming¬
ham, with final stops at Peter¬
borough and Milton Keynes
should start at the beginning
of 1996.
“Transport used to be domi¬
nated by largely nationalised,
public sector interests. Now
consumers interests come
first," Dr Mawhinney said.
That transformation had
been achieved through ensur¬
ing greater competition, in¬
vestment where it mattered
most and improving service
delivery. “Those are Tory prin¬
ciples and we will build on
them."
Launching a robust defence
of rail privatisation, he said
that a modem and efficient
railway would be achieved by
privatising Rail track, fran¬
chising services, and selling
other parts of British Rail.
“Privatisation looks to the
future in contrast-to a Labour
US wants more concessions
By Marianne Cukphey
BRIAN Ma'whinneys an¬
nouncement is an attempt to
restart stalled talks between
the British and American gov¬
ernments on the liberalisation
of transatlantic air services.
While it has received enthu¬
siastic backing from the re¬
gional airports, it drew a
lukewarm response from
American carriers who are far
more interested in access to
Heathrow and Gatwick.
American Airlines said the
move was “a step in the right
direction“ and sat'd it would
introduce flights this summer
between Birmingham and
Chicago, and Manchester and
Miami. However, it said it
was still looking for full
liberalisation and did not
want “piecemeal deals” with a
limited benefit for customers.
The Americans argue that
Heathrow and Gatwick are an
essential part of any
liberalisation deal because of
their value as a hub to the rest
of Europe. They accuse the
Government of protectionism.
Negotiations between the
two governments have been
stalled since last December
with British airlines anxious
to have unlimited access to
American airports and trans¬
atlantic routes and the Ameri¬
cans looking for similar
concessions in Britain. The
Government is now hoping
that Federico Pena, the US
Transportation Secretary, will
accept yesterday’s announce¬
ment as a gesture of good will
and return to negotiations.
Talks are expected to resume
again soon, but no date has
been seL
Sir Colin Marshall, the Brit¬
ish Airways chairman, said
before the announcement that
he thought the talks could
resume next month. Later he
added: “We continue to sup¬
port toe objective of lib¬
eralising the Anglo-US
agreement, provided it is done
in stages and the benefits are
balanced throughout.”
Party which is rooted in toe
past." he said. “Part of the
political agenda in the recent
rail strikes was a Labour A-
union attempt to wreck rail
privatisation. They have
failed."
Attacking toe relationship
between Labour Party and the
trade unions as cosy. Dr
Mawhinney said: “Frank
Dobson, its transport secre¬
tary. wanted the union to be
given whatever it demanded
— but then, he’s sponsored by
the rail union.
“John Prescott thought the
union's claim was very just —
but he's also sponsored by toe
RMT.”
Later the Transport Secre¬
tary tried to dispel fears of
costly motorway tolls by
claiming that on Up per mDe.
it would cost a motorist about
E3 to drive from London to
Bristol and bade. On those
figures between £700 million
and E800 million a year would
be raised to spend on improv¬
ing motorways.
However legislation would
not be introduced in toe next
session. “Next year we expect
to choose the most promising
systems for toe new technol¬
ogy and to start testing them.
Then we will dunk about
necessary legislation.” Dr
Mawhinney said.

Ministers were also warned
that toe party faced defeat if it
failed to fight off the Labour
and liberal Democrats surge

After a year in' which the
number of Conservative coun¬
cillors has been slashed by
more than 400, rank-and-file
Tories appealed for greater
backing from Westminster in
their battle to reverse toe
decline.
Conservative MPs and
councillors were criticised for
public divisions which had
damaged toe party's perfor¬
mance in the tockl council
elections held in May and the
June European parliamentary
elections.
Grassroots Conservatives
told the conference that Lab¬
our and Liberal Democrat
successes in last May^s focal
coundi elections had given the
two opposition parties a base
on which to. win general
election seats.
During a focal government
debate, Elgar'Jenkins, from
“If

claim that it is palling back from
tine Kuwaiti border “has come too
late and is not believed”. The
Kuwaiti's remarks reflect a grow¬
ing convitfion ar ail levels of
society in the emirate that some¬
thing must be done about Saddam,
and that President din ton is
prepared to do iL The question of
bow far to go. however, remains
unanswered.
There have been argum ents
since the end of the Gulf War in
1991.about whether or not the US-
led coalition then made a mistake
in not toppling Saddam. George
Bush, the former US President
speaking in Tennessee this week,
said he had decided to end the
fighting so as to avoid another
Vietnam. He said that a lengthy
conflict would have “fumed the
Arab world against us" and would
have led to the collapse of the
international coalition.
Mr Bush, still regarded as a
hero by Kuwaitis, added: “We
were operating under internation¬
al law. The objective was to stop
the aggression and remove Sad¬
dam’s forces horn Kuwait. We
were making a major statement
about international law and we
were successful."
After the war. General Norman
Schwarzkopf, the commander of
the allied forces, criticised the
hawks in the White House who
had called for Saddam's head
saying that the}- got their bravado
from watching Hollywood films.
“These were guvs who had seen
John Wayne in The Green Berets.
they'had seen Ram bo ... Patton,
and it was very easy for them to
pound their desks and say. ‘By
God. we've got to go in there, gotta
punish that son of a bitch 1 . Of
course, none of them was going to
get shot at"

expressed his disagreement with
stopping the war as quickly as
ordered, but recanted after his

superiors reminded him that he
had already agreed to the move
during a tele-conference session.
Three and a half years on. the
Saddam problem remains. The
removal of the Iraqi President by
commandos, paid assassins or
“smart" bombs is not a prospect,
just as was the case during the 100
hours of ground combat in 1991.
That leaves the option of a pre¬
emptive strike, which was talked
up yesterday by a number of
leading figures in the Clinton
Administration, including Made¬
leine Albright. the US Ambassador
to the United Nations. Voicing the
feeling of many in Kuwait she
said: "People want something to
happen so that this type of provo¬
cation cannot go on."
The sentiments of the fighting
men was expressed by John Hurst-
wood from Plymouth, who was
yesterday manning one of the
madiineguns on HMS Cornwall,
moored off Kuwait. “If anything
happens militarily this time, (he
feeling of all (he lads on board is
that we shall go all the way to
Baghdad and finish the job. It is
too cosily for Kuwait and the
world to let this sort of behaviour
go on unchecked." be said.

not only at averting a new

Andrei Kozyrev, the Rus-

Rifkind says Britain ready
to build up Kuwait force
By Michael Evans, defence correspondent
T he Government is pre¬
pared to send more
troops to Kuwait if the
present confrontation with
Iraq deteriorates. Malcolm
Rifland. the Defence Secre¬
tary, pledged yesterday.
In an interview with The
Times on the day the first
batch of Royal Marines left
Edinburgh for Kuwait to join
American and Kuwaiti forces.
Mr Rifkind said: “As we
showed during the Gulf War.
we will make a substantial
contribution if that is re¬
quired, depending on how
matters develop over the next
few days and weeks. Natural¬
ly. we hope the crisis will soon
be over." With the dispatching
to the Gulf of 800 _
Marines and soldiers,
another six Tornados
and a second warship,
Britain was already
making a more impor¬
tant contribution to the
coalition build-up than
any other country,
apart from the United
Rifkind said: “One has to
reflect on the significance of
what has happened in the
past few days. We haven’t
been rushing back and forth
to Kuwait in the past four
years. But the judgment on
this occasion was that the
Iraqi action was not simply a
minor tactic but something
more formidable.
The movement of 60.000
troops is a major event for the
Iraqis and that is why the
{United Nations| Security
Council derided this was not a
minor incident but a serious
threat to Kuwait’s indepen¬
dence. Whether it is a deliber¬
ate decision to act aggres¬
sively or whether it is just

Malcolm Rifkind in his office yesterday during Ids interview with The Times
States. “Naturally if the judg¬
ment was that the threat to
Kuwait had not diminished
and might be increasing, then
we will have to take account of
that in assessing the level of
contribution we make as part
of a coalition force,” he said.
For the American-led coali¬
tion land campaign against
foe occupying Iraqi forces in
Kuwait in 1991. Britain sent a
division of 25,000 troops. 170
tanks and 84 artillery pieces.
Asked whether Britain.
America and other coalition
partners now faced the pros¬
pect of dancing to Saddam's
tune, having to respond with
troops and fighter, aircraft
every time Iraq appeared to
be threatening Kuwait, Mr
bluster, either interpretation
requires a robust response."
He added: “Also Saddam is
acting from a position of
weakness, not of strength. His
position in Iraq is under
severe strain, the sanctions
having a very damaging effect
on the Iraqi economy; and the
way Saddam has reacted to
that has been based, as it has
in the past, on a miscalcula¬
tion. misunderstanding the
way the international com¬
munity will operate."
Judgments would have to
be made about whether any
Iraqi action posed a serious
threat to Kuwait The prime
Iraqi objective, he said, was to
see the end of sanctions and a
return to the international
community. That hope had
now been pushed “substan¬
tially backwards”.
He said: “The idea that the
way to reasssure the Security
Council dial it is no longer a
threai to its neighbours is to
send 60.000 troops to the Ku¬
waiti frontier shows an ex¬
traordinary misunderstand¬
ing. But one h3S to remember
that Saddam is not only a
despot, but a very isolated
despot
"Because of the nature of
his regime, even his closest
advisers are unwilling to give
him advice that he does not to
want to hear. [ThaiJ leads to
errors of judgment” Saddam,
he said, was “an albatross”
_ around the neck of rhe
Iraqi people and was
“the single greatest im¬
pediment to Iraq’s re¬
turning to the
international commun¬
ity”. Mr Rifkind said
everyone in the coali¬
tion against I raq was in
an “immeasurably bet¬
ter position” now than was
the case in 1990. The Kuwaiti
forces were more formidable.
America had a great deal of
equipment pre-positioned in
KuwaiL The other Arab coun¬
tries in the region had also
spoken unanimously in fa¬
vour of responding to Iraq's
latest threats, “which was not
the case four years ago”.
M r Rifkind would not com¬
ment on the possibility of a
pre-emptive strike against the
Iraqis. He said:“l do not want
to speculate on foe military
options, bur there are a num¬
ber of possibilities.” .
He said foe Government
had responded with troops
because there were important
British interests in Kuwait.

IRAQ’S losses of men and
equipment in the Gulf War
were vastly exaggerated by the
United States, according to a
report yesterday.
The new assessment by
NBC News came amid re¬
newed., criticism of George.
Bush for stopping the lard
war after 100 hours. There
were also growing calls that
this time the US should seize
foe initiative to launch mis¬
siles directly at President
Saddam Hussein's forces and
command and control^ centres
if he does not withdraw from
the Kuwait border.
In a view not reflected in the
memoirs of Gulf War gener¬
als. Ed Rable. NBC’s Penta¬
gon correspondent, said Iraq's
military strength, along with
foe number of troops killed
and combat equipment de¬
stroyed. were all overestimat¬
ed. Fbr example, foe official
US estimate of tanks de¬
stroyed was 3.956, but post¬
war analysis showed rally
3.475 tanks had ever been in
KuwaiL The estimate for Iraqi
artillery wiped out was 3,092.
but. analyses showed only
2.475 big guns were deployed
by Saddam's forces.
The biggest overestimate
was in numbers of Iraqis
killed. The figure given ai the
end of the war was 150.000.
Now analysts say foe real
figure was about 15,000. NBC
said it had also determined
that Saddam committed fewer
of his best troops to the Gulf
War than the US estimated.
He held 21 of his 63 divisions
in reserve and did not deploy
all of his Republican Guard
divisions at full strength.
Avoiding excessive carnage
was one reason given by Mr
Bush for cutting foe war short,
in spite of General Colin
Powell's famous declaration
that US forces would first cut
off Saddam’s army and then
kill iL Another justification
was that the UN mandate to
expel Iraqis from Kuwait had
been accomplished.
Mr Bush says he saved the
US from a new Vietnam.
“How the heck were we going
to get out without a huge loss
of life?” he asked an audience
in Nashville this week.
Richard Cheney, Mr Bush’s
former Defence Secretary,
agrees. He told NBC: “it's a lot
easier to talk about disposing
of Saddam than it is to do.”

Central Bank ploy to encourage exports proves risky as savings vanish and businesses close

Moscow battles to halt I -', ; : ■ ■ : IHH
collapse of the rouble i ;■ v: ■
From Richard Beeston in Moscow
■ -ises
RUSSIA'S finance chiefs held
emergency oiks yesterday to
halt the collapse of the rouble
after the Russian currency'
dropped more than 20 per cent
against the US dollar in a
record fall.
in a day dubbed "Black
Tuesday" by the country's
currency dealers, the rouble
tumbled to 3.926 from Mon¬
day's rare of 3.081. The dive
came to a halt only when the
Central Bank intervened to
prop up the currency after
most commercial banks and
currency traders had stopped
exchanging the rouble for
hard currency.
"We came down ro earth
with a bump." said Robert
Elensky. chief dealer at ING
Bank, commenting on the fall
of the rouble by nearly 33 per
cent this month against the
dollar. “The pace of the fall is
unbelievable."
The rouble’s accelerated col¬
lapse over the pasr two weeks
has been seen as a deliberate
policy by the Central Bank,
which spent billions of dollars
earlier this year supporting
the currency. Now. econo¬
mists believe, the bank wants
ro use a weaker rouble to
encourage Russian exports
and to cut its budget deficit
That policy could prove a
dangerous game, in spile of
assurances from government
finance chiefs that the sirua-
don is under control. In partic¬
ular. the rouble's rapid
devaluation yesterday threat¬
ened to cause panic in Mos¬
cow's business community,
where many banks and retail
outlets dosed yesterday rather
than trade in the volatile
currency.
“The latest rouble crisis
could scare away any inves¬
tor." said Mikhail Smirnov,
an analyst at Inkombank.
“Who wants to work in a
country where the national
currency can fail so much in a
day?"
The rouble's fall could also
damage Russia's delicate eco¬
nomic reform programme,
which over the past eight
months has depended on
keeping die currency stable
and inflation low. Although
Viktor Chernomyrdin, the
Prime Minister, succeeded in
bringing the inflation rate
down to 4 per cent in August
from 20 per cent in January,
the rate rose to more than 7
per cent in September and
some analysis predicted that it
would reach double figures
again by the end of the year.
The rouble's slide could also
have serious political reper¬
cussions for the government,
which appeared to have suc¬
cessfully silenced its hardline
opponents by keeping the
economy on course.
Although an estimated 10
per cent of Moscow's popula¬
tion now earns hard currency
and will therefore be cush¬
ioned by die rouble's fall,
pensioners and government
employees have teen watch¬
ing helplessly as the value of
their rouble ’earnings evapo¬
rate by the minute. Their
anger oould provide Commu¬
nist and nationalist opposition
groups with a powerful polit¬
ical stick with which to beai
the Kremlin. The timing of the
rouble crisis could not have
teen worse, since the govern¬
ment's economic policy is to
come under intense public
scrutiny this week when the
draft budget for 1995 is debat¬
ed in the Duma.
“The continuing abrupt
downslide of the rouble ex¬
change rate to the US dollar
will definitely escalate the rate
of inflation and negatively
affect the Russian economy.”
said Aleksandr Zhukov, who
is a member of the parliamen¬
tary budget and finance
committee.
□ Minsk: The Belorussian
government which until re¬
cently was pressing for mone¬
tary union with the Russian
rouble, has banned the use of
foreign currency in all cash
and domestic transactions.
The ban was one of several
dozen measures presented to
senior ministers yesterday as
pan of a reform plan ap¬
proved by parliament this
month. (Reuter)

That odd vision came a step
closer to reality yesterday
when Gregor Gysi. leader of
the Party of Democratic So¬
cialism (FDS), the former
Communists, promised his
support for a Red-Green mi¬
nority government in Bonn.
“We will not hinder a shift
from Kohl to Scharping." he
told reporters.

because of the range of govern¬
ing options now open.
The politicians-on-bicycles
scenario, the Red-Green gov¬
ernment probably would de¬
pend on the passive support of
Herr Gysi’s party, a ragamuf¬
fin Left-inclined protest" group
that has teen scoring well in
disaffected east German town¬
ships. Herr Gysi spelt out
yesterday how his pariy would
exercise its influence it if
scraped into parliament “We
would not demand any direct
quid pro quo for supporting
the formation of a Red-Green
government" he said. “But if
the PDS is to support the
passing of laws, we will need
to know they are going in the
right direction." Rudolf
Scharping, the Social Demo¬
cratic (SPD) leader, says he
excludes the possibility of rul¬
ing with the PDS.
Here Gysi did not seem
enthralled by Herr Scharping
either. “But the advantage of
Scharping is that in alliance
with the Greens and with the
positive influence of trade
unions and peace groups, he
will be forced to present a real
alternative to Kofi]. 7 '
The Greens represent a
complete turnaround on most
domestic and foreign issues:
their programme envisages a
negotiated exit from foe West¬
ern alliance, a blanket ban on
German participation in over¬
seas missions, and a two-year
timetable fa- withdrawing
from atomic power. These cal¬
culations are based on a
loophole in the electoral law
that could weli help the PDS.
Every German casts two votes
in a general election. The first
is for an individual standing in
the local constituency, foe
second is for a party. People
often split their votes, choosing
perhaps a popular Social
Democrat in foe first vote, and
the Free Democrats or Greens
in the second
F or a party to secure
parliamentary repre¬
sentation it needs a
minimum of 5 per cent of the
vote, or three direct mandates.
The PDS. vay weak in west
Germany, has Utile chance of
jumping the 5 per cent hurdle,
but could win directly in three
Berlin constituencies.
If it does so. it will be
awarded more seats in propor¬
tion to its overall share of foe
vote. The betting Is that foe
PDS will end'up with 27 parl¬
iamentary seats, which could
be enough to tip foe balance
against Herr KohL - the
Chancellor.
The other dement of uncer¬
tainty on October 16 is the fate
of the Free Democrats. .They
could continue the trend set in
six regional elections arid foe
European Parliament elec¬
tions and be ejected, from
parliament in Bonn.
Thus foe broad options are
as follows:
□ Present govern m ent con¬
tinues: If the Christian Demo¬
crats win about 45 per cent the
Free Democrats win 7 per
cent, the SPD 38 per cent and
the Greens 5 per cent Result:
four more years of-HereJCohL
□ Christian Democrats win
an absolute majority: The
Chancellors campaign ' is
dearly aiming for this goal
But both the Free Democrats
and foe PDS would have to fail
at the ballot box. Result foe
Chancellor would. steam
ahead with plans' to integrate
Europe more deeply and be¬
come more aserthe to world
-politics. - '- ■■■■
□ A Red^Grecn ctaEtiottr If

Yang Zhou, Bao Ge and Yang

Grand rockeur seeks US role
From Charles Bremner
IN PARIS
JEAN-Philippe Smet has sold
80 million records, he wor¬
ships the gods Harley and
Davidson, and is idolised as
the national king of rock’n’¬
roll, but his glory has never
made it much beyond the
Belgian bonder.
At the ripe age of 5L Johnny
Hallyday, to use his stage
name, now hopes all that will
change because, for the first
time in more than 30 years.
France's grand rockeur has
put aside foe language of
Descartes to release an album
in American. Rough Town.
In his coals-to-Newcastle
mission, Hallyday, who is as
much a Gallic monument as
foe late Serge Gainsbourg or
Gerard Depardieu, hopes to
cross foe cultural frontier
where other pop idols, nota¬
bly Patrick Bruei Vanessa
Paradis and Patricia Kaas
have failed. He worked with
Chris Kimsey, a Rolling
Stones producer, and top “An¬
glo-Saxon” musicians on the
requisite gutsy blues sound.
The only trouble is that,
despise the polished music,
the result comes across as
something that might be
described as Joe Cocker meets
Maurice Chevalier. Some¬
how, a Paris accent gets in the
Hallyday: a tte mp tin g to.
break cultural barrier
way of the images conjured
by “Rough Town, Gotta find a
Way Outta Here”. Perhaps
they should have written
words without an V in them
so he could have avoided
singing lines such as "You

“He has not made much
progress ,"InfoMatiru a news¬
paper that tries to be hfpL
noted yesterday. “But as the
English would say, *Ze
Frenche accent iz veri sexf."
Hallyday is off to tour
Germany, Sweden and Nor¬
way before, he hopes, going to
America “to stay foe time it
takes”. His British record
company said they have no
plans for a visit. But even if
Hallyday fails to convince the
US that French rock is not an
oxymoron, he can afford to
shrug off the loss as he has
dominated foe home marfc fr t
since such hits as nviens
Danser le Twist" (Let’s Twist

Mr Cfinton seemed to have
shaken off the Somalia syn¬

after the loss of 40 American
lives in pointless guarriUa
ambushes. And there was a
noticeable new boldness about
him .“when he spoke to the

-. The President, warning fee
Iraqi leader not to threaten his
neighbours, declared: “Our
objectives are dear, our forces
are strung, our cause is right”
Perhaps for the many at
home and abroad who had
voiced concern about his han¬
dling of global issues, he
added: “The strength of Amer¬
ican fbreign policy stands on
the. steadfastness of our
commitments.”
Mr Cfinton has also gained
admiration for his crisis man¬
agement He cancelled an
election campaign trip to stay
in the White House, where he
divided his time between strat¬
egy sessions and calls to other
world leaders asking for their
support to reactivating fee
Gulf War coalition.
There can be no question
that President Clinton has
been helped enormously by
fee professionalism of Ameri¬
ca’s all-volunteer military
under William Perry, his
forceful new Secretary of De¬
fence. Critics such as O fiver
North, the Iran-Contra figure
running as a Republican for
-fee Senate, have claimed that
America's armed forces have
been trimmed beyond the
point of being effective agatost
Saddam's military resources.
.There are alto concerns
feat wife simultaneous opera¬
tions being conducted in Haiti
and to die Gulf, the American
mifilaiy is stretched too thiitiy.
„ However, the difficult police
operation in Haiti has been
improvised skilfully with no
. loss of American lives and the
rapid deployment to the Gulf
has proceeded flawlessly so
for. Many of the troops flying
to Kuwait were there only
three months ago on a train-
tog exercise wife the emirate's
forces.

bd pace laureate, said in a
radio tntereiew last week that
the committee was agonising
over whether Mr Rabin or Mt
F eres should share the award
wife Mr Arafat. The prize has
never been shared by more
than two people. Guidelines
laid down last year suggested
that three should be a maxi¬
mum number, but there is no
strict rule.
There was no official com¬
ment yesterday from any of
the potential winners, though
the Foreign Ministry in Israel
denied that Mr Feres had ever
lobbied for the prize.
This year there were 132
nominations, including 35 org¬
anisations. One of fee other
leading contenders was Jim¬
my Carta 1 , the former Ameri¬
can President who played a
leading role in defusing fee
crisis over North Korea’s
nuclear weapons and in nego¬
tiating a peaceful entry of
American troops into Haiti.
Mr Arafat founder of fee
Fatah Palestinian guerrilla
group, has been in the fore¬
front of fee armed struggle
agatost Israel for 25 years.
Since his acceptance of the
Oslo accords, however, he has
gone out of his way to seek co¬
operation wife the Israelis,
and has returned as the de
facto ruler of the autonomous
Palestinian areas in Gaza and
Jericho.

Yitzhak Rabin. left the Israeli Prime Minister, and Yassir Arafat the PLO chairman, controversial candidates for the Nobel peace award
ries when ” he was Defence
Minister under Yitzhak
Shamir. Responsible for
crushing the Palestinian
intifada, he was alleged to
have ordered Israeli soldiers
to "break fee bones" of Pales¬
tinian demonstrators.
The bitter disagreement
over tiie reported nomination
of Mr Arafat may force fee
Nobel committee into a fresh
sitting and fee choice of
another candidate.
Nobel winners do not nor¬
mally keep fee valuable prize
for themselves. Mr Rabin
would be forbidden by Israeli
law to keep the money: but Mr
Arafat soil maintains virtual
persona] control over the bud¬
get of the Palestinian autono¬
mous authority. Palestinians
would watch closely whai he
did wife his share of fee prize.
The Nobel Peace Prize, the
only one awarded by Norway,
has often led to biner contro¬
versy. ft was given once to
Mairead Corrigan and Betty
Williams, fee two Northern
Ireland Peace People, al¬
though fear initiative in seek¬
ing peace in Ulster in 1977
came to nothing.
The most controversial win¬
ners woe Dr Kissinger and Le
Due Tho, who negotiated the
agreement that Ted to the
American withdrawal from
South Vietnam. However, the
war broke out again and two
years later the North Vietnam¬
ese won a crushing victory.
Games players triumph
Stockholm: Three research¬
ers from America, Germany
and Hungary won fee Nobel
economics prize yesterday
for using games to explain
how companies make deci¬
sions and fee market
operates.
The winners were John
Hasranyi, bom to Budapest
and now at fee University of
California al Berkeley; John
Nash, of Bluefield. West
Virginia, and now at Prince¬
ton University; and Rein-
hard Selten, bom in what
was then Breslau in
Germany (now Wroclaw. Po¬
land), and working at Bonn
University.
The three economists will
share seven million kronor
(£588,000) given wife the
prize; which is awarded by
the Swedish Central Bank in
memory of Alfred Nobel.
Their work used strategies
applied in games such as
chess and poker, as well as in
mathematical games they
created themselves, to make
predictions about interaction
between companies to the
market Like chess, their
research detailed how play¬
ers. or company executives,
make decisions based on
their opponents’ last move as
well as on previous moves,
the arrangement of the play¬
ing field and other factors.
Dr Nash was singled out
for refining the “Nash Equi¬
librium”, a formula in which
players are given optimal
information about each oth¬
er’s positions to form their
own strategies. (AP)
US investigates Haiti ‘human sacrifice’
From Tom Rhodes in saint marc, Haiti
Caped crusader time
to update wardrobe
Batman
loses his
shorts
New York; After more than
half a century of balding the
bad guys of Gotham CSy in
the same old clothes. Batman
is updating his wardrobe
(lames Bone writes).
The caped crusader has cast
out the old bhie-and-gzey
costume he has worn since his
first appearance to 1939 in
favour of a sleeker, dark blue
outfit with a more contempo¬
rary look. Gone will be those
saucy blue Bat-shorts worn by
Adam West to fee hit tele¬
vision series of fee 1960s, but
the cape and mask will stay.
DC Comics, tbe publishers
of the five Batman comic
books, chose the new costume
from 15 designs drawn by
seven artists. “Taking those
trunks away makes tbe cos¬
tume a little sleeker and a
little more contemporary,”
said Dennis OTVeiL the group
editor of all five comics.
“They were a hold-over
from fee origins of super-hero
costumes,” Mr O'Neil added.
“They were based on circus
costumes. There is no need for
that any more.”
THE well at the military ca¬
serne in Saint Marc appears
to be a nondescript hole to the
ground. In the past few days,
however, it has become fee
focus of an extraordinary in¬
vestigation by American
forces, highlighting fee many
difficulties involved to their
mission and underlining the
cultural gulf between fee Uni¬
ted States and Haiti.
Saint Marc, a provincial
port two hours north of Port-
au-Prince, the Haitian capital,
has for decades held a particu¬
lar place to fee history of the
Caribbean nation. Under the
Duvaliers, the former dicta¬
tors, the town became a notori¬
ous haunt for fee Ton to ns Ma-
coute, the feared civilian pol¬
ice. to the post three years it
has gained similar infamy as a
fortress for their successors,
the paramilitary Attaches.
When a small group of Am¬
erican special forces arrived in
Saint Marc last month, they
were confronted immediately
by a legion of rumours sug¬
gesting feat fee population
had been subjected to fee most
appalling act of cruelty com¬
mitted in fee name of Captain
VDsen lino, fee local military
commander Within days of
their arrival, many Haitians
came forward with a story so
chilling that the hardened
troops of the elite US unit
found h difficult to believe.
The people claimed that in
late July a voodoo ceremony —
known as aginerc— had taken
place inside fee military bar¬
racks and at least three civil¬
ians, including a pregnant
woman, had been sacrificed.
Their bodies were said to have
been dismembered and then
buried in fee well and ai a
banana plantation at the rear
of fee headquarters.
The Americans finally over¬
came their scepticism more
than a week ago and called in
a team of investigators to
question those who said they
had seen fee event The team
is now deciding whether it
should excavate the two sites.
The Haitian journalist who
first reported fee story had
gone into hiding for three
months until this week when
he agreed to return to his
hometown to discuss the case.
Ernst Osseant, the Radio
Tropic reporter, said he had

backed president has stepped

for Jean-Bertrand Aristide,
the exiled President
Ira Kurzban said yesterday
that Mr Jonassatot would not
return to the presidential pal¬
ace and that other ministers in
the regime of Lieutenant-
General Raoul C6dras. fee
resigned military leader,
would be out of their offices
by tbe end of the week. Mr

on his rule. (Reuter}

witnessed the killing.
They said feat the festival,
which had been held to ward
off the arrival of the Ameri¬
cans. had taken three days,”
said Mr Osseant “Half way
through the ceremony, all the
civilians were led away and
that is when they sacrificed fee
three people."
to a country where thou¬
sands have died at fee hands
of the C&fras regime, and
where rumours are the fabric
of daily life, it is hard to
distinguish fact from fiction. It
may have been that fee vic¬
tims — if indeed they were
killed — were murdered by
soldiers at fee same time or
even after the ceremony.
All nine of the Americans
now living ar fee barracks
have seen enough films and
read enough to believe there is
more than an element of truth
to the tale. “I rant say what is
going on to this investigation."
said Chief Warrant Officer
Luis Pacelli. "but if you want
my opinion, ! think some¬
thing did happen.”
Magellan’s space odyssey meets fiery end
Magellan: systems beginning to faff
New York; The Magellan spacecraft
which has orbited Venus 15.000 times to
the past four years, was ordered to self-
destruct yesterday by plunging Into the
planers atmosphere to a fiery final
experiment (James Bone writes).
Scientists planned to activate rocket
thrusters to said the space vessel
hurtling at a speed of 16.000 miles an
hour to a certain death in fee carbon
monoxide and sulphuric acid clouds of
fee planeris atmosphere.
The dramatic descent is fee last
experiment for the spacecraft, whose
powerful radar imaging system has
mapped 98 per cent of Venus, revealing
a scorched surface of plateaux and
volcanoes wife a temperature of around
900F (482Q. The plunge will yield data
about the aerodynamics of flight to a
dense atmosphere: A similar test is
scheduled for Mars to a couple of years.
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in
Pasadena. California, says it is merely
putting Magellan to the best use before
it fails of its own accord. Launched on hs
25 mfllion-mile journey in 1989 at a cost
of $800 million (£506 million), the craft’s
solar power panels are now foiling apart
and navigation devices are foiling. An
electrical lauh could occur any time and
doom the mission.

THE TIMES WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 121994
John Bayiey, chairman rrf this year’s Booker judges, explains their controversial decision to choose the Kafkaesqug How late ft was, how late
T his year has been a specially
notable one in the history of the
Booker Prize, both from the record
number of entries submitted —just over
130^ and from the continuing vitality,
variety and richness which they repre*
sent. Clearly the British. Irish and
Commonwealth novels are all flourish-
trig, and the shortlist we had to make
could have been much longer. Two that
we especially regretted having to miss
out were Candia McWilliam'S Debat¬
able Land and Andrew Cowan's Pig, a
short first novel of great charm and
promise. I personally also greatly en¬
joyed Anita Brookner’s novel of this year.
A Private View.
As judges we were not. I think,
working to any system: we tried to have
open minds and a pragmatic approach.
But I think we all felt a distrust of
anything that seemed mo conscientiously
in fashion, the sort of novel that had “of
the moment” written all over it. We were
on the lookout for a work of art of true
individuality, for the arrival of a new
talent or the masterpiece of an already
recognised writer. Following a fashion.
Why we chose James Kelman
even if it is one that a famous novelist has
set for himself, can often be the nemesis
of the genre, and some well-known
names this year had seemed to succumb
toiL
Otter , entries had an air of taking
themselves too seriously. Good novels,
after all. are always serious in their own
way^but few novels which set out to be
serious are really good. Ambition is an
excellent thing, but pretension is nOL Nor
is what might be termed “a contempo¬
rary fictional, specification”. This might
consist of taking a ooupie of rapes, a
single mother of two. some social
workers; a number of anatomical details,
and stirring them all well together. I
hasten to say that neither our winner nor
any of the novels on our shortlist did
anything of that kind.
- Jane Austen passionately, if ironically,
defended the seriousness of the novel
(“only some work in which
the greatest powers of the
mind are displayed, the most
thorough knowledge of hu¬
man nature the liveliest effu¬
sions of wit and humour")
and yet she did not need to
take it all that seriously, and
was prepared to read whatev¬
er the circulating library
could offer, remarking to her
sister that the fashions in
novels were like the fashions
in ribbons, caps and stays —
all the rage one year and
altered the next. The serious
novelist of today seems perpetually
anxious not to leave anything out Failure
is not being streetwise. The done thing is
to show that you are caring, but also that
as a novelist you possess unlimited sang¬
froid. and combine compassion with a
Bayiey-. suspicious
of the fashionable
tremendous stylistic relish for
the most nauseating anatomi¬
cal detail.
Alas, under this treatment
the readers capacity for the
thrill of disgust as well as the
thrill of compassion, soon
wears out In 1992. at the first
of the Russian Booker Prize
shortlist sessions. I recall our
splendid Russian chairwom¬
an calling one of the offerings
the most disgusting thing she
had ever had to read. Having
recently abolished censorship
and discovered sex; in the
novel, the Russian authors were having a
high old time, but to us it was merely
routine stuff. ■■ ’
It is sometimes hard as a judge to
distinguish between what you like in art
and what you recognise as good in art.
Where the novel is concerned, this can be
particularly tricky, for it is both the
shame and the glory of the novel that it is
a form of great basic impurity, full of
stuff of all kinds, some of which may
appear as it were separately, quite apart
from the success or failure of the book as
a whole. This can be an asset because it
nr tfpnn that in most novels there is
something for somebody. Many Booker
entries were curates’ eggs, excellent in
places, and r eminde d me tew hard ft is
to insult ewapfte greatest ntwd for liking
it for the wrong reasons. A friend of mind
thinks that Anna Karenina has the best
account of a steeplechase he's ever read,
and skips through the rest of it for that
reason. Judges of a fiction prize have to
be careful not to fall too much in love
with something that is merely inside a
novel and so making too Wg a daim far
it as a whole.
• In his speech as chairman in 1977,
Philip Larkin compared the judges to a
bunch of terriers looking for a rat "*We
couldn’t describe it but we should know
all right when we found it” Such
intuition is indeed important bat it (men
goes hand m hand with what one likes hy
instinct and die faculty of jud gmen t
should distrust ft. Who would not assait,
though, to the four queries Larkin wait
on to put to aity novel, “first coukH read
it? If I could read it did I believe it? If I
believed ft, did I care about itr And fin¬
ally. “Would f go on caring about It?"
I think the novels we have chosen this
year will pass this test and one reason
may be that all of them are about the
kind of things which the novel as a form,
has always throughout its history han¬
dled most successfully: growing up, and
finding filings out; loving despairing
feith and the loss of faith; the beauty of
the natural world, and the epic struggle
a gainst its elemental forces. James
Kelman’s novel set in Glasgow about a
blinded ex-prisoner on the binge, dis¬
plays a talent that wfll endure, and
deserves to win.

Trumpeting the
power of love
Why not tell Fleet Street’s finest and
TV reporters about your happy day?
NOW. why is every one being
so bitchy about Ivana and
Riccardo's engagement party
at Syon House? Such a lovely
party. Pm told, and why
shouldn't they invite the press
and the television cameras if
they want to, if only to explain
about the surnames. (His is
Mazzucchelli and the former
Mrs Trump has dropped hers
altogether. You can do that if
you're a fixture in
the Hello! hall of
fame.)
In fact they didn’t
want to. according to
Ivana's publicist, Liz
Brewer. Miss Brew¬
er. who sounds rath¬
er bossy, "persuaded
them that it would
be nice if file press
could understand
how lovely they are".
It's not her fault that
the press couldn’t
understand. With his fiancee's
hair towering over him. Mr
Mazzucchelli sang her praises
but merely succeeded, as one
reporter wrote, in sounding
like a man explaining his
devotion to a frightening pet.
Okay, so it was a mistake to
have that monstrous cake in
the shape of the engagement
ring. Any cake would look
feeble in Dial house, where all
the walls and ceilings look like
pages from a confectioner's
manual. In any case a million
pounds’ worth of sapphire can
fend for itself in the attention-
seeking game: it says “I may
look os if 1 came out of a
cracker, but you and I know 1
didn't, and that because I'm
so big and scratchy, no
woman who wears me will
ever again have to perform
any manual tasks, from wash¬
ing up after dinner to putting
on tights."
Look, here we are gossiping
just as we would at any
ordinary engagement party.
No point sniping about public
display, that's what these
gatherings are fon to show the
world fiiat he’s bagged her,
she’s bagged him. they have
enough money to be
going on with and
they’re both delight¬
ed. An engagement,
as it says in the
dictionary, is “a
pledge of marriage,
an appointment or
arrangement, esp.
for business or social
purposes, a period of
employment esp. a
limited period". Ex¬
actly so. These days,
you never know
which definition you might
need.
Riccardo did what every
other fiance does on these
occasions: he said something
maudlin (about marrying so
that he and his 45-year-old
wife could have gorgeous
children); something daft
f'this is very, very private" as
the flash bulbs popped); and
something trite, but sound
feveryone says money and
sex don! matter — as long as
you get both of them. You
know. 1 think iters true.*).
Something tells me that this
couple won’t copy Whoopi
Goldberg, who when asked if
she would love and cherish
■ her husband for the rest of her
days, replied with a- pause,
followed by “maybe". .

THE TIMES WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 121994
Alan Coren
It may be ail rite on
the night, but is it
politically correct?
w
hen. in the murky gloaming, the
doorbell rang. 1 riptoed up and
offered the spyhole a chary eye. A
householder cannot be too careful, these
days: life is harsh, money tight, scruple rare,
and there are desperate men ever on the qui
vive for the incautious lifting of a latch. You
could be double-glazed, iofr-laaoed. and
cuiinarily refitted before you knew it.
The fish-eye lens offered two huge heads,
as fish-eyes will, but low down. Children,
then, possibly midgets, and with a push¬
chair between rbemT but its occupanr so far
beyond the spy-hole's range — you do not gel
a lot for £b. and. if you fit it yourself, you end
up with even less — as to be unidentifiable.
As far as I and my wonky Seeuriscope could
set*, however, they carried no order book,
no sample mullion. pipe, or worktop, no
suitcase poised to snap open on a tea-towel,
peg or Reader's Digest subscription, no
clipboard waiting to jot me down for
spoasored potholing 6? 50p a foot to save the
whale, no Bible pressing me to witness. I
opened the door.
It was the pushchair which first caught my
eye. There was a terrorist m it. It was a bit
early in the year for terrorists, true, but I
knew the signs: if, as the nights draw in. you
run across "a bin-liner in a tatty old jacket,
with a teddy-bear’s head, a blade cardboard
moustache, a clay pipe and a baseball cap.
vou immediately recognise it as the insurrec¬
tionist who once crept beneath the mother of
Parliaments’ skirts with a view to airing her
a nasty turn.
“Penny for the Guy.” said the larger ben-.
Ten. perhaps. “Remember, remember, the
fifth of November," said the smaller one.
“It’s the tenth of October.'' I said.
“You have to start early." said the larger
one. “It's two pounds for a proper rocket"
“You’re not supposed to go round door to
door.” I said. “You're supposed to stand on a
street-corner.’’
“We did that" said the smaller one. “but
nobody gave us nothing.’’
“Well,' he's not a lot like Guy Fawkes."
I said.
They both looked at the bear’s head.
“We had a Stan Laurel face 10 put on him."
said the taller one. “but the elastic bust."
“It would have helped.” I said. “Just
out of interest do you know what Guy
Fawkes didr
Why do 1 give kids a hard time?
“He blew die king up.“ said the smaller of
the two.
“Near enough," I said. I bent and
straightened the bear’s moustache. “Is he
just for show, or are you going to burn him
on the night?”
“Bum him. With bangers inside him and
caffirrn wills in his ears."
“We’re going to make a hole m his head."
said the smaller one. “and stick a rocket in it
so*s it goes off when his face catches fire." So
1 gave them the wherewithal for the coup de
grdee', and I watched them trundle their
victim down the path, and it was only after I
had dosed the door again that it suddenly
occurred to me. I’m ashamed to say for the
first time, how astonishingly unsavoury,
how politically incorrect, how altogether
unacceptable a business it is to which the
nation annually addresses itself with such
grisly relish.
F or here we all are struggling against
the lengthening odds to inculcate
tolerance, understanding, non-rio-
fenee and all the caring rest into our
offspring, yet every year we leap about with
them in the cheery' glow of a burning
Catholic freedom-fighter, pausing only to
pluck the potatoes roasting in his pyre. How
very odd. Why should Guy Fawkes remain
the one dissident in British history unre¬
deemed by caring hindsight? Just how
comfortable would you be if your kids sat on
street comers with an effigy of Jomo
Kenyaita, what if they tugged the sleeves of
passers-by. begging a penny for the Mahat¬
ma. suppose they stuck a paper fez on a
dapped-out reddy bear and called it Nasser?
Never mind the incalculable ramifica¬
tions if. every July 4, Britain commem¬
orated the Declaration of Independence by
setting fire to ten thousand Thomas Jeffer-
sons with bangers inside them and caffrin
wills for ears.
Tear up the Tory Clause 4
have a theme for John Major's
speech. The search can end. He
must take a leaf from Tony Blair's
book. He must drop Clause Four
From the Tory Government's con¬
stitution. Abandoning a belief in state
ownership has transformed Labour.
Why not try it on the Tories?
This is no joke. When Labour
preached state ownership in theory'* the
Tories were practising h with gusto. The
15 years of Lady Thatcher and John
Major have been the most intensive
period of nationalisation since the Attlee
Government of 1945. Nothing that
Labour attempted in the 1960s or 1970s
equalled it Compared with the much-
trumpeted privatisation of a ragbag of
companies and utility' monopolies, na¬
tionalisation has become an unacknowl¬
edged Tory crusade. The victims have
been primarily local councils, but also
public corporations, institutions and
even private industries. Today's Tory
party is the party of big government big
public spending and big interference as
never before.
I often wonder how a party manifesto
would read, not before a government
takes office, but years later in the
outcome. What would it promise to have
done, knowing what it did do? Such a
Tory manifesto would, I believe, be
remarkably similar to what a Labour
government would have found itself
doing (and boasting) over the same
period. It would accept a steadily rising
tax burden. It would assure voters of
higher state spending. There would be
no prospect of a cut in the government's
share of the gross domestic product,
hovering round 44 per cent, one of the
highest in Europe.
But this would pale before the “Clause
Four" elements in the manifesto. In 1979,
the “commanding heights" of the public
sector were still plural, disparate and
largely self-governing. By 1994, the
public sector and much of the private
sector would have seen more savage
creeping nationalisation than Labour
would have dared contemplate. Consid¬
er the Tory outcome manifesto for 1979-
1994. Each pledge begins, like every
road to hell, paved with the best of
intentions:
□ To combat crime, we intend to
nationalise the police. Local forces vary
in standards of service and efficiency.
We shall amalgamate local police au¬
thorities under new committees. The
Home Secretary will determine their
extent and composition. National start-
Labour’s left-wingers would be proud to
boast a record of nationalisation
to match the past 15 years_
dards will be enforced through our
police inspectorate. Budgets, staffing
and capital spending will be controlled
from Whitehall. Policemen will, de
facto . become government employees.
□ We intend to make the National
Health Service true to its name. We shall
nationalise it. removing it from the
control of hospital consultants and old
regional health authorities and inserting
new tiers of centralised management.
They will come directly under Whitehall
scrutiny for finance and performance.
The Health Secretary will expea to
answer to Parliament for waiting lists,
empty beds and epidemics.
□ To improve educa- __
tional standards there
wifi be a nationalised
curriculum. Schools
and teachers will no
longer be free to meet
the requirements of in¬
dependent examina¬
tion boards. They will
be forced to adhere to a
central syllabus. We ___
shall also nationalise
the examination system under a new
testing authority.
□ We do not believe this gives us
enough power. The time has come to
nationalise Britain’s public primary and
secondary schools. We shall do this
without compensation to the local
ratepayers who built them. We shall
start with a voluntary transfer of schools
to our new Funding Agency for Schools.
Over time we want to see alt state
educational institutions brought under
our central planning regime.
□ For too long Britain's universities
have operated as self-governing institu¬
tions. disregarding national manpower
norms. We'shall abolish the University
Grants Committee. Ministers will lay
down what is taught and how much is
spent on what research. We shall
nationalise all polytechnics and further
education colleges. Two new funding
councils will be appointed with financial
directives from the Treasury.
□ We intend to end the wasteful price-
Simon
Jenkins
support system in agriculture. We shall
replace it with direct payments to far*
mers. We shall pay some farmers not to
farm at all but merely to hold land. This
is a historic breakthrough in state
intervention, approved by Brussels.
Farmers will effectively become salaried
employees of government using their
land when and for whatever purpose
government planners decree.
□ Local rates are unfair. We shall
nationalise them. For the time being we
shall allow local councils to fix their own
domestic rates. Since we shall fix the
upper council tax limit and fix how
much each council should be spending,
_ _ they will have little
discretion. We shall
then nationalise local
business rates un¬
der Treasury control.
Councils should have
no discretion over how
much they charge
businesses for services.
At £14 billion turnover
_ in 1994, this will be the
biggest single act of
nationalisation by any British govern¬
ment ever.
□ Public housing has long been in the
hands of elected local councils. We
intend to spend far more than Labour on
subsidised housing, but we shall nation¬
alise it through our Housing Corpora¬
tion and through direct payments to
tenants. This extends nationalisation
beyond the council estates and will give
us influence over rents throughout the
private sector. Housing benefit should
rise five-fold over a decade. This will be
the most generous rent subsidy in the
Western world.
□ We intend to remove the rail network
from die statutory discretion of British
Rail. We must end its freedom to deride
which services to subsidise and which to
close, and how much to pay its staff.
These matters wall come under the con¬
trol of the Treasury. Any sub-contracts
granted under so-called “privatisation"
will operate under strict control from
government-appointed regulators, fran¬
chise controllers and dvil servants.
□ We shall set up a nationalised lottery.
We shall ban all private lotteries except
raffles and tombolas. Revenue gathered
by a lottery contractor unit pass to the
Treasury and then be treated as public
expenditure. We hope that in time the
National Lottery will be Britain’s most
popular nationalisation since die Nat¬
ional Health Service, v •.
□ For too long, government has refused
to intervene in family life. We shaD do
so. We are opposed to leaving husbands
and wives to sort out their troubles in
private or through the courts. We shall
ret up a Child Support Agency to nation¬
alise divorce settlements andera respon¬
sible minister. Its powers will be
draconian.
□ We give a solemn pledge that weshall
never denationalise (properly) the com¬
manding heights, of the British eppn-;
omy: the roads, the railways, the boo- 1
sing stock, the schools and univer- j
sides, training, the health service,
the Post Office, the prisons. Loti- |
don's transport. All privatisation that
takes place will be subject to full central
government regulation.
That is what I call a serious Clause
Four manifesto. It has been implement¬
ed by the present Government to (he
letter. Offer it in. 1979 to Michael
Foot, Tony Bern and Ken Livingstone
and their eyes would have, bulged
with glee. In 1939 the young Douglas Jay
wrote the much-misquoted phrase that
“the gentleman in Whitehall really does
know better”. It has taken half a century
for a Tory Government to bring that
dream to reality.
I cannot see from what corner of the
political map a challenge to all this will
emerge. Few Tories can be proud of their
pet Leviathan, but longevity in office has
neutered them. Creeping nationalisa¬
tion is ingrained in rabmrt government.
Nor does Britain have the benefit of any
constitutional check against an over¬
powering State — except spasmodically
the House of Lords. For Tony Blair and
Labour, the story is a happy one. Mr
Major will bequeath them an unprece¬
dented concentration of control over the
public sector. They will doubtless regard
it as Clause Fours acceptable face.
Were Lady Thatcher in office today, I
have a sneaking feeling she would see
the opportunity, cut lose and launch a
popular revolution against the record, of
her own Government. Has her one-time
acolyte the guts to do likewise?
Deer passing
FURTHER evidence of the precar¬
ious financial sate of the Frasers
of Lovar comes in a catalogue for a
forthcoming sale of Victorian pic¬
tures at Christie’s. Three oils with
an estimated value approaching
£500.000 between them are in¬
cluded in the catalogue as the
property of the late Hon Simon
Fraser, the Master of Lovat-
Mosr important among the oils,
which are said to have hung in
Beaufort Castle, the Lovat family
home in Inverness-shire, is The
Deer Foss by Sir Edwin Henry
Landseer. Queen Victoria’s fa¬
vourite painter, which Is valued at
□00.000. The sub-title chosen by
Landseer for the work could not be
more poignant, given that the
Frasers may have to sell their
entire landholding. “I am mon¬
arch of all I survey." it reads. “My
right there is none dare dispute”
The Frasers have suffered trag¬
ically this year. In March. S3-year-
old Lord Covat’s son Andrew was

Tanzania. Days later his elder

^tate with a view to a
sale next spring. The monumental
Landseer, measuring 7ft by I2ft,
shows a group of deer perched on
a perilous pinnacle overhanging a
yawning abyss. “It has a wonder¬
fully atmospheric mood," says
Christie's.
Bad sign
FIRST STOP for Jeremy Hanley’s
membership drive should be Con¬
servative Central Office. The
chairman has discovered that as
many as a third of his own staff
are not even members of the party.
While Paul Judge, the party’s
director-general, says new
employees should subscribe, he
admits long-serving workers may
not have joined. “One or two
believe it is a sensitive point”
Even some MPs are said not to
have joined. “I forgot to join the
Conservative Party — and never
did — for all of my seven years as
an MP." admitted a former Tory
Member in Bournemouth yester¬
day. “And I know I was not alone.”
At Labour's Walworth Road head¬
quarters. staff are sensibly told
they have to sign up. “It perhaps
explains why Tory campaigns are
such a shambles “ sneers a Labour
man. “Even those running cam¬
paigns have no loyalty to the Con¬
servative Party.”
• Spare a thought for Amnesty
International. The contents of the
charity's conference stand disap¬
peared en route from Labours

mouth. "We’ve been toB&Qand

representative at a sadly make¬
shift stand.
Australia, Peter Baxter, producer

Ibrahims, who lived-in London and ran
their own business from Bowater
House, had become major players in
several big deals. No one knew hbw
much money they kept and how much
went to their nephew, the young prince.
But their record commissions,- collected
with ruthless insistence, sent a wave of
resentment through other Saudis' —
inducting minor princes who had
missed out The scale of payoffs was
beginning; to divide the royal family.
The British. Government explained
that the Al-Yamamah deals were thor¬
oughly proper. Mrs Thatcher had
personally told King Fahd that there
should be no commissions. In the second
deal, the Government formally wrote to
British Aerospace to say that there
should be no commissions. The Ibrahim
brothers were shown the letter.
But the Saudis, of course, could alloc¬
ate their commissions as they wished;
and the payments were all the easier to
conceal because they were made partly
in the form of ofl. The fed that the oil

prevailing ghjt — added to the disquiet
about the deal.
With die hiffle sums at stake, it would
be surprising if some money did not find
its way to the British side. It was part of
norma] Arab etiquette to reward people
who had been helpful in easing the deal
and with billions at stake, a few rruffions
were like pocket money. To reward the

Major should not shut his ears to bis former Chancellor
When John Major was dose to Josing the

guage which chimes closely witli^the
national debates developing in Germany,
Italy and, increasingly, iri France. "
On the domestic political front, Mr Major
a much closer now to the European con¬
cerns of British voters than. is Tony Blair,
whose pieties 'about not bong left behind in
Europe-are those of many Chrisfinases"past
Within the GHtoervsitive-Paity, Euro-sceptic

That leaves Mr Lament. His intense
personal hostility to- the Prime Minister
inevitably removes some of the credibility
that a former Chancellor ought to enjoy* But
his assault orr the Maastricht ideal, the
" world of wheeler-dealing, opt-outs and
short-lived' deception, was well made. His
call to his critics to prove the economic
benefits of the EU should be answered. The
Tory leadership understandably shrinks
from another full-blown internal debate an
Britain’s interests in Europe. But it would be
both shortsighted and irresponsible to delay
one for too long.
Mr Major has improved his chances of
staying in power by. recognising that the
pace of political integration is unacceptable
to the British people. He wants it to be
slowed. Mr Lament wants it to be stopped.
Mr Major's theme of flexibility is at risk of
being buried in Bran co-German arguments
based on premises that are wholly alien
here. Logically, die tensions in the Franco-
German relationship may justify the British
case for. a more flexible Union; but
politically, as Bonn ami Paris attempt to
exploit the 1996 mter-governmental con¬
ference on Europe’s future to cover over their
differences, it will make Britain's goal of a
multi-tier Europe harder to achieve.
Much more needs to be done to find a
strategy to see Britain through. The in¬
auspicious beginning to British and Ger¬
man efforts to cut red tape in Brussels — a
battle that must be won if a Europe of 20 or
more members is to be viablei- is an augury
of storms ahead: Small states are fiercely
protective of the acquis communautaire, die
body of European regulation already built
up. Subsidiarily is a fine-sounding doctrine,
.but the Maastricht formula is proving too
vague" and weak ..to withstand the
centralisers.
The Tories must define Britain’s interest
in a larger Union in more, detail, projecting
-free trade, stability and deregulation to the
East There is a chance both to concert such
a strategy with the countris of northwest
Europe and to deliver it in Brussels too; but
only rftiie Tories can unite on a policy closer
to the scepticism of Mr Lament than that

There has bees' tong - anecdotal evidence of

now a protest toiled by Thelatymer School
against the Univoraty of London Examina¬
tions and Assessments Council (ULEAQ

catalogue of errors and-anomalies.

resulted in tile downgrading of pupils.
; The school entered U 4 candidates for

consisted of a coursework paper giving half
of the final mark, and a set paper for the re¬
maining halt On tiie coursework papervLat-
ymer pupils received 59" As, 48 Bs and 7 Cs —
high grades but not surprisingly so since
Latymer is one of the few remaining state

It insisted that the entire years entry be re¬
assessed, and it carried its protest through to
tiie . final arbiter, the Independent Appeals
Authority for Schools Examinations.
iJLEAG was heavify criticised both for
sloppiness in methods and the apparent
inconsistency of its examiners* standards.
The appeals authority panel expressed
special dismay at ULEACTs inability to deal
with what were classified as “atypical”
candidates — that is, with very able pupils.
Examiners were found to be marking in a
mechanistic way which took no account of
“wit, sophistication and the unexpected”.
The attributes most important to the study of
an arts subject — flair and imagination —
were being penalised.
By appealing an behalf of its own pupils.
Latymer may have performed an important
national service, ft has uncovered both
individual mistakes and a larger mistaken
philosophy. If schools are to be publicly
accountable for their examination results,
then the boards that, hand out those results
must also be open to scrutiny both for their
procedure and their educational values.

Hard times for
the Tory Party
From Mrs Barbara Roche, MP for
Hornsey and Wood Green (Labour)
Sir. Michael Pinto-Duschinsky’s re¬
search showing the penury facing
Conservative associations up and
down Britain stales that many cannot
pay the quota expected of them by
Central Office, and may even be sup¬
ported financially by Smith Square
(report, October 11). These facts con¬
trast with Sir Norman Fowler's asser¬
tion on June 16, 1993, to the Home
Affairs Select Committee^ inquiry
into party funding that die Con¬
servative Party is funded largely from
jumble sales and cheese-and-wine
parties.
As the minority report Labour
members produced on March 16 this
year said: “The funding of the Con¬
servative Party is one of the grear
mysteries of British politics." The
Labour Party has pledged to disclose
all substantial donations in future;
unless the Conservatives are prepared
to do die same we will only know who
bankrolls the governing party and
props up ailing local associations as a
result of the work of assiduous journa¬
lists and researchers or, as in the case
of AsO. Nadir, when legal proceedings
disclose the information.

From Mr David J. Kidd
Sir, Every time the Chancellor pro¬
claims that tax cuts are not serious
politics he repels voters. His support¬
ers will say tax cuts can property be
made only when the economy permits
it That is the wrong way of looking at
it The defining feature of a flee people
is that no taxation may be imposed
without parliamentary consent — not
even for defence. Attempts to tax
without consent have led in the past to
civfl strife, even revolution.
In its own way the debate within die
Labour Party over Clause Four taps
into this principle, for its object is to
secure for workers by hand or brain
the foil fruits of their labour. Taxation
without consent is a way of taking
these fruits.

From Mr Marc Crwifield-Adams
Sir. As the Conservative Party starts
its conference some of us will delib¬

the right by some Cabinet ministers
last year and the prospect of the vocal
minority demanding something simi¬
lar this week it doesn't promise to be
an attractive spectacle.
I am too young to remember life in
tiie 1950s. but successive post-war
Conservative governments 0301(611
have got it all wrong. In those days the
party had statesmen at the helm —
Churchill, Eden. Macmillan and But¬

is thar in marching ever more to the

lems of a nation of raves and have-
nots.

Until Labour's leadership realise

Selection of judges under scrutiny
From Mr Graham Allen . MP for
Nottingham North {labour)
Sir. I welcome the current proposal to
advertise judicial appointments (let¬
ters, October 3.6). not least because it
has highlighted the pressing need for
a comprehensive reform of the ju¬
diciary. An independent and repre¬
sentative judiciary is a cornerstone of
democracy, particularly given
Labours commitment to an enfor¬
ceable Bill of Rights for British
citizens.
This year’s conference reasserted
the Labour Party's pledge to judicial
reform. A judicial appointments and
training commission will be estab¬
lished by Labour's first secretary of
state for justice. It would monitor the
careers of potential members of the ju¬
diciary and allow for discussion as to
what criteria are most pertinent to
judicial appointments, in addition, a
S tal select committee on le-
wouid, for the first time. aL
nentary scrutiny of tiie pro¬
cess of judicial appointments and ac¬
cess to the law.
The aim erf these reforms is not just
to facilitate a system which produces
better judges who are well trained and
suited to the job at hand, but also to
ensure an end to the current gross
under-representation of women and
members of ethnic minorities. The
outcome of current selection pro¬
cedures is a judiciary of which 96 per
cent have a public school and Ox¬
bridge background, and deprives us
of a pool of potentially talented and
committed judges.
This also fosters a lack of trust in the
judicial system amongst some mem¬
bers of the public Widening the field
of selection to indude solicitors and
academic lawyers would alleviate this
problem and allow new talent to em¬
erge.
Finally, judicial training would en¬
sure that those persons selected to the
judiciary had both the self-confidence
and the confidence of the public which
such a crudal post demands.
Yours sincerely,

Democracy and the Constitution),

South African economy
From Mr David Craine
Sir, Your report, “Mandela economic
woes dog US visit" (October 4), detects
mounting anxiety within the South Af¬
rican government at the Tow" credit
rating achieved by South Africa. Most
commentators have seen the recent
ratings as a significant boost to the
nation’s international standing, es¬
pecially the Moody's investment-
grade BAA3 rating.
Whilst you concentrate on tiie sup¬
posed influence of the Communist
Party, which does “not want anything
to do with" tiie IMF and World Bank
others are recalling the ANC’s ap¬
proval for a massive IMF loan last

business is predicting a sharp in¬
crease in export earnings in the

Property values
From Mr David E. Taylor
Sir, Rachel Kelly’s column of October

edge that under the present Conser¬
vative Government we have witnes¬
sed a drop in residential freehold
values of between 30 and 50 per cent
since August 1988.
I am sure a future Labour govern¬

match this tragic performance, which
has deeply wounded thousands of
middle-class property owners, the
majority of whom verted Tory at tiie
last election.

because that is the only way to qualify

All recorders are being continually
assessed for suitability. Any with a
black mark will not be appointed to
the circuit bench, whether or not they
are recommended fay the interview

The only way to improve appoint¬

From His Honour Judge Crabtree
Sir. In his entertaining article (Octo¬
ber 7) lampooning the judges. Ber¬
nard Levin quotes Judge Wilson as
complaining about a letter from the
Lord Chancellor to all the circuit jud¬
ges setting out the sort of conduct that
would result in dismissal I do not
think he was complaining about the
content of the letter so much as the
way in which it was sent
It is true that it should not be neces¬
sary to tell us that if we are convicted
of stealing, drunken driving, GBH,
and so on we should be looking for
another job. But. if the Lord Chan¬
cellor had written to me to that effect, I
would not have objected.
Bui Lord Mackay did not write to
me he had written some time ago to
Lord Taylor, setting out a code of con¬
duct for judges — and somebody in his
office set the computer to work to send
out copies of that letter to all circuit
judges, by recorded delivery, without
even a “compliments” slip.
There are only two reasons for
using recorded delivery. One is that
you are not sure that you have the
right address; the other is that you ex¬
pect the recipient to deny receiving the
letter when, at some later date, it suits
him to lie about it
Now the Lord Chancellor knows
my address. It speaks volumes for the
general standard of honesty in this
country that the Government thinks
that even its judges are bent
Lord Mackay did not write to me, so
I did not write to him: but 1. and most
other circuit judges, would like an
apology.
We may be a lot of Oxbridge (well-
educated?) old fools: we do sometimes
say stupid tilings (as does Bernard
Levin): but we are not dishonest

Crime and apathy
From Mr Colin Goodhind
Sir, Surely it fa common sense that
vandalism and crime cost us dearly
and youth activity schemes reduce
crime. Ministers should Stop paying
lip-service to these issues and channel
substantial financial support through
local authorities to partnerships tike
ours that are already working. If the
judicial system then woke up to reality
and supported victims we would see
public morale improve and a further
reduction in crime.
Our crime prevention efforts are
constantly undermined and apathy
encouraged by criminally unrealistic
sentencing. A local trader had his
window broken (replacement cost
£850) and goods stolen lvalue £1,100).
The trader had to pay the first £100 of
the window claim arid the first £250
for the goods claim. The youth was
fined £34 and given probation.
I believe this state of affairs fa
discouraging the reporting of non¬
violent crime and giving a false
impression that things have dramati¬
cally improved. I hope for everyone’s
sake that I am wrong.

paign (letter, October 5).
Having had my rubella immunisa¬
tion at school I assumed l was im¬
mune. A blood test during pregnancy
indicated 1 was not and 1 was casually
told the vaccination I had received
had a failure rate of about one in
seven.
Both my children, now aged eight
and nine, had the measles jab at about
fifteen months, and then the MMR
(measles, mumps, rubella) on its
introduction. When 1 telephoned the
help-line for further information
about the current campaign I was as¬
sured that it fa completely safe for
them to have a third dose.
“But fa it necessary?" I asked. I was
given the standard tine: “We're advis¬
ing everyone to have the injection."
I still was not happy and I was
given another telephone number. The
doctor on tiie other end assured me
that his son has been immunised pre¬
viously, but will also receive this one. I
am still unsure, but faced with his ap¬
parent confidence 1 have conceded de¬
feat and given permission for my chil¬
dren to receive this “booster".
Is this the way for the medical pro¬
fession to give confidence to the
patients?
Yours faithfully,
L A. COATES.

From Mr Richard Barr
Sir. When we received the leaflets
about measles vaccination we had a
family debate with our two children.
We agreed that our 11-year-oid son
would not be vaccinated. Our 14-year-
old daughter was concerned about
rubella and elected to be vaccinated.
We have therefore made our con¬
sent subject to the following:
1. that ti fa based solely on the infor¬
mation and assurances given in the
leaflet and
2. that it fa given only on the dear
understanding that vaccinator, health
authority and manufacturer will be
fully responsible for any injury which
may be caused to our daughter as a
result of the vaccination.
Other parents might like to do the
same. If our conditions are not accep¬
table io the authorities 1 would be
interested to know their reasons.
Yours faithfully,
RICHARD BARR.

From Dr Ben Ross
Sir, Mrs Duff’s letter confirms my
opinion that there fa an element of
Monty Python about the way in which
the measles campaign is being con¬
ducted. General practitioners are
being inundated with questions for
which no answers are available. The
literature sent by the Chief Medical
Officer has been of limited help.
The only certainty is that GPs will
bear the brunt of any after-effects of
the measles injections, long after the
school nurses who administer them
have retired to bed.
I have been told by the local district
health authority that problems with
the measles campaign have multi¬
plied owing to distractions caused by
die Indian plague outbreak. Mrs
Bottomleys repeated statements that
all GPs had been informed about
plague at least eight days before any
such information arrived at this prac¬
tice have strengthened my belief that
the Health Department badly needs a
shake-up. starling at the top-
Yours, sincerely,

Gulf warning
From Mr Hugh Hanning
Sir. It fa a profound relief to see the
principle of deterrence being resur¬
rected by the Allies in Kuwait.
One had begun to despair of homo
sapiens ever grasping the cardinal les¬
son of the twentieth century: that all
major wars were caused by failure to
give credible warning to the aggres¬
sor. The Kaiser. Hitler, Kim 11 Sung,
Galtieri and Saddam in 1990 did not
know we were ready to use force until
it was too late.
Now Saddam knows. It is good
news. Deterrence, brilliantly created
by Nato, has worked in Europe. At
last we have realised thar the same
principle can work just as well else¬
where.

National Trust announces its centenary celebrations
The Prince
of Wales
agrees to
be patron
By John Young
THE Prince of Wales has
agreed ro be patron of the
National Trust's centenary
which is to be launched at the
Grosvenor House Hotel in
London next January 12. one
hundred years to the day
since it was legally in¬
corporated.
Among the celebratory
events will be an important
exhibition of paintings owned
by the trust at the National
Gallery next autumn; a series
of lectures at the Purcell
Room, on London's South
Bank, between February and
April in which the speakers
will include Professor David
Cannadine, Sir Crispin
Ticket!. Dr David Bellamy.
Luanda Lambton and the
Duchess of Devonshire; and a
fundraising sale of some 80
works of art by many of
Britain's leading artists at
Christie's from January 20 to
February 2.
A 90-minute documentary
on the trust is due ro be
broadcast in January by the
BBC which has also made a
series of 90-second “shorts'* on
various trust properties and
projects.
An accompanying book.
The National Trust: The First
Hundred Years, is published
today.
The centenary events are
being supported by many of
Britain's largest companies.
The launch itself is being
sponsored by British Airways.
Sir Angus Stirling, the
trusts director-general, said
yesterday that the centenajy
would have three main
themes. The first was to mark
the achievements of the past
century in protecting much of
Britain's finest coast, country¬
side: historic buildings, gar¬
dens and parks permanently
for the nation.
The second was to project
the trust's role in the future
and the third to generate
awareness of the trust as an
independent charity with cost-
Sir Angus Stitling spoke about centenary plans at Spencer House, London, yesterday
ty long term-responsibilities.
Nearly 600,000 acres of
open countryside, 550 miles of
coastline and more than 200
historic houses in England.
Wales and Northern Ireland
are under trust protection. In
the last 15 years membership
has increased from 855,000 to
more than 22 million and
more than 10 million people
visit trust properties every
year.
But the trust is a charily
which receives no govern¬
ment subsidy and is depen¬
dent largely on subscriptions
and legacies. Three out of
every four properties mnsaf-a
loss, not taking into account
repairs and maintenance:

In 1942. he joined tbe British Ihibr- Picwiddahfigure of medium height.
History, his own version of the Pass-
over liturgy, with his own commen¬
tary, which became a bestseller, and
which continues to sell in large
numbers to this day.
He was also a familiar figure at
George Weidenfeld’s celebrated
soirdes. He was a marvellous conver¬
sationalist, with many anecdotes about
people in high places, but he was one of
the few men who was somehow
amusing without being malicious. His
many friends included Saul Bellow
with whom he had a particular sense of
kinship, though he did not share
Bellow’s bleak view of mankind or his
melancholy tendencies.
In 1970 he becanie a research fellow
at Sussex University and was able to
indulge in one of his main interests,
Jewish history, but his researches were
in some respects a search for himself.
In 1962 he wrote a semi-autobio-
graphical volume called Memoirs of a
Special Case, in which he tried to
explore the position of the Jew in the
noreJewish world and more specifical¬
ly his own place in \l He combined a
fascination for everything Jewish with
a love for everything English, and he
was able to combine the two during his
years as an Oxford don. Yet he could
not overlook the fact that he was, m the
last resort, a non-believing Jew and a
non-English Englishman.
He returned to die theme in one of
his last books The Springs of Jewish
Life (1983), m which he asked why Jews
were at pains to remain Jewish in spite
of the hazards they faced and where —
as in his case—they did not even have
religious faith to sustain them. And his
answer lay in Jewish history, the sense
of fellowship it offers with Moses and
Aaron. David and Solomon, the Mac¬
cabees and Bar Cochba. and the
guidance of prophetic teaching. He
was not, perhaps, the non-believer he
thought he was, or rather, he tempered
scepticism with romanticism.
When he became a fellow ar Sussex
he moved to Hove. His marriage had
ended in divorce and during his Hove
years, a little belatedly, he reverted to
the role of a man-about-town. He loved
female company and had no shortage
of admirers who were happy to act as
drivers, cooks, confidantes, compan¬
ions and, where necessary, as amanu¬
enses. He was a happy man in himself
and spread happiness among others.
He is survived by a son and a
daughter.

A distingu&fte& career is aero 1
space journalism, culminated:
in his nine-year editorship of
the Geneva-based Interavid
Aerospace Review foBowedm
1989 by his appointment as
editor-in-chief of the table of
the industry. Jane's Ati the
World's Aircraft.
.■ Lambert took over from
John Taylor on his retirement
after three decades* service. It
was a hard act n> follow; but
fee brought to the job experi¬
ence as a pilot of more than
300 types of aircraft , and
hefiednters. He’had particular
affection for the Meteor fighter
and flew later generations of
high-performance' types
through ti» sound barrier. .
His editorship saw a tactical,
reshaping of the cantait of
Jane's in tune with the ch?ng-
ing needs of its professional
users in 170 countries and the
growth of demand for elec¬
tronic delivery of information.
Lambert achieved . those ;
changes despite the pressures
upon him and his team of
revising and updating tbe iwo-
and-a-half million separate
fads that appear in Jane's All
the World’s Aircraft each
year.'
' Lambertwasamanofquiet
cheerfulness, tact and diplo¬
macy. The pressures of dead¬
lines and volumes of material
never distracted him from his
boyish love of flight and his
enthusiasm for all matters
connected with aviation.
Charles Mark Lambert had
a peripatetic childhood, since
his mother lived from 1931 to
1937 in. successively. France.
Italy. Austria, Yugoslavia and
Latvia. This experience gave
him the knowledge of a num¬
ber of languages which later
stood him in such good stead
in the world of international
journalism. Coming to Eng¬
land. after a spell at prep
school he was educated at
Blundell'S School, Tiverton. At
the age of 17 he joined his
parents in Rome where , he
attended the French LycCe.
After National Service in
Army Intelligence in Trieste.
194S-49, he went to Jesus
College, Oxford, where he
learnt to fly with the Univer¬
sity Air Squadron. He joined
the 600 (City of London)
Squadron, RoyaJ Auxiliary Air
-Force, flying Meteor 8s and
gaining a reputation as an
aggressive fighter pilot, a
characteristic that was in
marked contrast to his gener¬
ally mild-mannered demean¬
our. When 600 Squadron was
disbanded in 1957 he joined

Stay independent
on the editorial staff of the
aviation magazine Flight, a
natural beginning to an avia¬
tion writer's career, since he
had read every’ issue since he
was 14. He remained with
Flight on and off for 27 years
with a break from 1965 to 1973
when he worked in public
relations in the aerospace
field. In 1973 he rejoined
Flight, remaining until I960
and also doing some flight
testing for the publication.
When he moved abroad in
1960 to become successively
technical editor, associate edi¬
tor and then editor of
Interavia, he was, even in that
polyglot company of journal¬
ists, the only member of staff
to be utterly at home in the
journal's four languages —
English, French. Italian and
German. He was able to
translate technical documents
between any of three continen¬
tal languages without refer¬
ence back to English. He
retired from the editorship of
Jane’s in June this year on his
65th birthday, characteristi¬
cally planning to continue as a
contributor of a number of
sections to next year's title.
Notwithstanding his jour¬
nalistic talents. Lam ben was
recognised by all his col¬
leagues as being first and
foremost an “aircraft man".
After flying Meteors he broke
the sound barrier in a Hawker
Hunter in a shallow dive in
May 1967 and later that month
did the same in level flight in a
USAF HOOF Super Sabre.
With his wife Anna, whom
he married m 1955. he compet¬
ed in the round-Sicily air race
in a Piaggio 148 piston-en¬
gined military trainer, a some¬
what hairy experience because
of the aircraft's inherent insta¬
bility and because the model
he and his wife competed in
had a faulty fuel gauge. He
had also, exceptionally for a
journalist, been entrusted with
the controls of a Bell V22 tilt-
rotor craft. In all he had flown
more than- 300 types of air¬
craft, notching up his 304th
only this summer.
His wife Anna survives him.
with two daughters and a son.
DIANA CHURCHILL
Diana ChnrdiilL actress,
died on October S aged
SI. She was born on
August 2L 1913.
DIANA CHURCHILL was an
English leading actress of
stage and screen who enjoyed
a career of remarkable versa¬
tility. She worked her way
through much of Shake¬
speare, Restoration comedy,
farce. Chekhov and a series of
boulevard comedies. In mid¬
dle age. she gained an unex¬
pected reputation for
sophisticated revue.
The eldest of three daugh¬
ters of a Wembley doctor
(because he also had a daugh¬
ter on the stage she was often
mistakenly believed to be the
daughter of Winston Chur¬
chill) Diana Josephine Chur¬
chill was educated at St
Mary's School, Wantage, and
the Guildhall School of Music.
In an extraordinarily swift
rise to fame, she found herself
acting in the West End by the
age of 18. Soon she was
playing such roles as Dorothy
Hardy in Whose Baby are
You? and Lucy Fairweatiher in
the burlesque version of the
old Dion Boucicault melodra¬
ma The Streets of London, in
1932. Her dramatic talents
were aided by her enormous
blue eyes, narurally wavy
blonde hair and by a trade¬
mark pout which she used to
devastating effect
A spell at the Oxford Play¬
house taught her an authorita¬
tive command of the stage so
that when her big chance
came as the young wife in
Michael Egan’s The Domi¬
nant Sex (1935), her pertly
natural playing of a nice but
rebellious young shrew won
her an IS-month run at the
Shaftesbury Theatre, and in
the process made her a star.
She never found a new
comedy which suited her zest¬
ful talents better, though her
success led to occasional films:
School for Husbands (1936)
and The Housemaster (1937).
She was popular, in the busi¬
ness, for being level-headed,
and pood-tempered. Only
once, for instance, was she
known to come near to losing
her poise. This happened
when she was filming Cover's
Knot in 1938 at Elstree. After a
scene which was proving diffi¬
cult to shoot had already gone
though six takes, she fluffed
her lines on the seventh at¬
tempt Turning to smile at her
director she apologised with
Diana Churchill in The Streets of London , 1932
“Sony, ducky, but I think I’m
going to get temperamental.
Ill go for a walk." She was
back within three minutes,
ready to go through the scene
perfectly.
However, after early glory,
she had to contend with a
decade of mediocre comedies
and revivals, before suddenly
again finding fame in the 1948
revue Oranges and Lemons.
She was now discovered to
have a strong singing voice
and a gift for stage caricature
matching that of her co-star.
Max Adrian. If audiences
laughed at her saleslady —
patronising with ineffable
gentility her no longer slim
customers — they were
touched by her sensitive por¬
trait of the idealistic school
teacher hopelessly contending
with overcrowded classes.
Always ambitious for suc¬
cess in more serious work,
Diana Churchill joined the
Old Vic for the 194^-50 season.
Her Rosaline was seen in a
lacklustre revival of Lore's
Labour's Lost, but her brisk
Kate in She Stoops to Con¬
quer pleased the critics. She
made another foray into the
classics ai Stratford in 1956 but
neither her Gertrude in Ham¬
let nor her Emilia in Othello
won particularly enthusiastic
notices.
Meanwhile, however, she
had triumphed again in revue
— in High Spirits (1953), when
again she proved herself
equally mistress of both an
astringent bitchiness and of
tender sentiment. Although
she could always be relied
upon for resourceful and intel¬
ligent stage work — witness
her portrayal of Emlyn Wil¬
liams's docile wife in his
thriller Accolade (1950) and
her ill-bred bossy Natasha in
Three Sisters (1951) — it will be
perhaps as a revue artist that
she will be best remembered.
During the 1960s her career
wound down as she spent
more time caring for her first
husband. Barry K_ Barnes, an
increasingly sick man who
died in 1965. However, she
could be seen in The Rehears¬
al (1961) at foe Globe Theatre,
The Winter's Tale in Cam¬
bridge in 1966, and Heart¬
break House at Chichester,
which transferred to foe Lyric
in 1967.
Sadly, her own health was
deteriorating — she was by
now suffering from multiple
sclerosis — and from the mid-
1970s onwards she lived at
DenviJle Hall, the home for
retired actors in Northwood.
Middlesex. It was there that
she met the acror Mervyn
Johns (the father of Gfvnis
Johns) whom she married in
1976 when she was 65 and he
was 77. He died in 1991 She
had no children.
CANON DUDLEY HODGES
Canon Dudley Hodges,
former Precentor of
Lichfield Cathedral, died
on October 1 aged 85. He
was born on February Z
1909.
IN THE three cathedrals
where Dudley Hodges served
and in the three parishes
forunate enough to have him
as their incumbent, many
people were drawn by the
outstanding quality of his
pastoral care, by his dear
grasp of the Christian faith
and by his deep love of
Anglican worship. His keen
sense of fun and zest for the
good things of life made him
outgoing and equally at ease
with a wide range of people.
Dudley Alban Hodges read
Theology at Selwyn College,
Cambridge, in foe late 1920s,
and between 1930 and 1932
trained for the priesthood at
Cuddesdon Theological Coll¬
ege, near Oxford. Ordained in
1932. he spent eight formative
years on the staff of South¬
wark Cathedral where he laid
the basis of his broad working
knowledge of liturgy and
church music This was inter¬
twined with an energetic pas¬
toral ministry there and as
chaplain of Guy's Hospital.
He then held incumbencies at
the Holy Spirit, Clapham. and
at St John the Baptist, Eltham.
He was never happier than as
a parish priest, and at heart
remained such throughout his
long ministry.
The summit of his parochial
ministry came at Stafford with
its imposing Collegiate
Church of St Mary. By his
sensitive pastoral touch he
transformed its grandeur into
a warm and welcoming com¬
munity, whose heart was the
Parish Communion followed
weekly by foe “foil English
breakfast" for all. Social activi¬
ties abounded, including an
uproarious annual entertain¬
ment given by the rector and
curates in the Town Hall and
parish holidays on the Welsh
coast. Yet all this was held in
equilibrium with cathedral-
style liturgy and music. Ru¬
mour had it foal foe parish
ran on “gin and prayer”. This
legend bore testimony both to
the generous hospitality which
Dudley and his wife Margery
dispensed, and to the devo¬
tional and sacramental em¬
phasis which permeated the
parish.
As an outstanding trainer of
curates his greatness lay in foe
capacity to allow junior col¬
leagues to do things their way.
Through the ensuing success¬
es and failures he invariably
gave generous support, en¬
abling each curate to be him¬
self and discover his own gifts
and limitations.
In 1965 he was appointed
canon and precentor of Lich¬
field Cathedral with responsi¬
bility for arranging the
musical services. His combi¬
nation of liturgical and pasto¬
ral skills proved to be a great
asset, especially in reaching
out to the growing number of
visitors to the cathedral.
To him ministry was not a
job but a way of life. Though
he retired to Salisbury in 1976,
he carried on much as before.
Appointed an honorary canon
of Salisbury in 1960, he served
for several years as vicar of the
Close, faithfully cycling round
to take Communion to the
housebound, or welcoming
newcomers to the cathedral
back home to coffee. He
prepared many adult candi¬
dates for Confirmation. His
leaching ministry, while
patient, had a note of urgency
and he never shrank from
challenging people about their
belief and practice.
In 1993 he published a
simple guide to the Psalms.
This slim volume typifies his
pastoral motive in “demystify¬
ing" the ancient treasures of
the Church's liturgy.
He is survived by his wife
Margery, whose partnership
meant everything to him in
every phase of his ministry.
COMMUNISTS AND
FASCISTS
on this day
- VICTORY " MARCH IN EAST END
An anti-Fasdsi demonstration, organised
mainly by Communists, was held yesterday
in the East End of London, when thousands of
people took pan in what was described as a
" victory “ march. The “ victory ” being cele¬
brated was the prevention of the proposed
march of Fascists through the East End on the
previous Sunday.
Heavily escorted by mounted and foot
police, a long procession marched from Tower
Hill to Victoria Park, where meetings were
held round three main platforms in the
presence of big crowds. The demonstrators
assembled and marched in orderly fashion.
and the wily disturbances on foe route
occurred in the neighbourhood of Victoria
Paris, where there were a few scuffles between
the police and groups of Fascists who sought
to interrupt the procession or expressed their
hostility too freely. Nine arrests were made in
connexion with foe demonstration, foe
charges including wilful damage, assault,
and obstructing the police.
At one point, it was reported, a parry of
October 12 1936
The repealed dashes between the British
Union of Fascists and its opponents were
curbed by the Public Order Act in Januaiy
1977 which banned uniforms and empowered
the police to forbid political processions.
about SO young men, shouting “ Up with
Fascism." charged into the ranks of ihe
procession and pulled down a Communist
banner. A free fight began for possession of
foe banner, and foe crowds began to surge
forward. A short baton charge by a strong
body of foot police put an rad to the fight.
There was not a black shirt to be seen
anywhere on the route, but young men and
women gathered in groups at street comers
shouted Fascist slogans at the marchers, and
there was much rival shouting and singing.
When the groups of Fascists shouted foe name
of Sir Oswald Mosley and raised their hands
in foe Fascist solute foe marchers would retort
by raising clenched fists and chanting “ Ban
the Blackshirt Army." .Another favourite
slogan of foe marchers was: " They did not
pass! They shall not pass! ~
There appeared to be about 5.000 marchers
when the procession was marshalled, but they
gained a big following during the long march
to Victoria Park. .At foe head of the procession
were a number of ex-Service men. many
wearing medals and carrying banners in¬
scribed: " National Ex-Service Men’s League
Against Fascism." Marching behind a uni¬
formed band which set off from Tower Hill
playing “The Red Flag " foe ex-Service men
atm displayed half a dozen Union Jacks.
Others hi the procession carried scores of
Communist red flags, and there were other
banners bn which were anri-Fascist slogans
and caricatures of Sir Oswald Mosley...
A party of 50 or more young (fascists made
some attempt to interrupt the meeting a few
minutes after it had begun. The}' advanced
shouting towards the platforms, but when
foe}' were still about a hundred yards away
die police charged them, and they turned and
nm to another pan of the park. Here they
tried to reassemble but tho police again
dispersed foem without drawing their batons.
Two of foe Fascists were left lvincon foe grass
after foe scuffle, and had to receive first aid.

There is no more urgem media
issue in this country.
True, the press thinks it is
obeying self-restraint about fee
children. But these pre-adolescent
years, hidden away at school, are
the easy ones. The trouble comes
when they emerge into flirtatious,
car-crashing adolescence.

Charles's young life was warped,

absences followed 1 by. .sole to

that glass of cherry brandy. An
inoonsequential act at a pub on a
school outing not only made world
headlines but cost him fee com¬
pany of a Ipyal and trusted

scapegoat for fee incident. What
better way to make a young man
feel victimised by a hostile world?
BRENDA MADDOX
Serious critics of fee media these
days often, speculate about the hurt
the children of the Prince and
Princess of Wales must fed when
they read about their parents in
the press. Far more harmful must
be all the theorising about fee
Crown passing straight to Prince
William. How terrifying it must be
for a preadolescent to read that
you are expeaed to be fee saviour,
fee young man who will not
misbehave like his father and who
will not make a mistake in fee
awesome choice of a mate.
The first step in protecting fee
monarchy from fee media, there¬
fore, must begin wife an aid to this
blight on the psychological dev¬
elopment of Prince W illiam The
next would be seme additions to
the Press Complaints Commis¬
sion's voluntary code.
Its Clause 12 on "interviewing or
photographing children" should
be expanded by a subsection (iii),

But self-regulation should begin
at home. Royal parents should
immediately desist from using
their children for photo-opportuni¬
ties. like forcing fee boys into a

and jeans for Her. tweeds and kilts
for Him. or by dressing two
dissimilar girls as if they were
twins. Get the whole lot of them
right out of the limelight: no
Disneyland, no Alpine photo-calls.
S elf-restraint should then rise
to the highest level. Of
course, the only real way to
protea fee monarchy from fee
media is to disestablish fee Church
of England, so that fee gap
between ideal and practice —
which makes royal misbehaviour
news — would disappear, and
those bom royal could live, mar¬
ried or divorced or gay, by the
same rules as the rest of us.
But there are more simple steps.
The Palace should immediately
stop playing The Family: fee
Queen's Christmas message
should be about fee country and
fee Commonwealth, not about fee
grandchildren. It should also dis¬
miss all public relations profes¬
sionals and return to the welcome
silence of the old days. The stream
of lit-crit from Buckingham Pal¬
ace. denouncing books as "sleazy’'
or "grubby", is embarrassing. But
when the royals have a case in law,
they should push it — for breach of
copyright especially.
For fee WaJeses, there is no
escape. All they can do is accept fee
realities of their own existence.
Anyone whose photograph is
worth seven figures on fee world
market should not appear naked
near a window.
In their misery, they might
console themselves that they have
revealed that fee location and
duration of each and every tele¬
phone call is now on record, that
mobile calls are more easily inter¬
cepted than others, and that offi¬
cial protection is synonymous wife
official surveillance. It is, in its
way, a public service.

and/or - prefinianary - inter¬
views. Hie ones we finally saw
were the best of the best.
— The interviews all took fee
same form. Around 45 min-
i&es long and topped and
tailed fay those awkward but
.effective questions loved by
peropnhel officers: why do you
wahtfee job? What are your
strengths and weaknesses?
Kiddhg off with television,
the questions concentrated on
comparisons with ITN. Was
there any difference? Tabloid
versus broadsheet sensation¬
alist versus sober; light versus
serious;: people-led versus is¬
sue-led. But the running sto¬
ries of fee wedt were fee
abduction and finding of
Abbie Humphries and an
Africfoi refugee crisis. The
plight of one English child
set against fee tragedy of a
thousand far-away childr en.
The two stories fell cleanly
either side of the divide in
news values perceived by our
candidates between fee BBC
news and ITN. So no real
problem should have faced
them when asked which story
to run first and the length
each should occupy.
B ut then again, the
Abbie Humphries
story mu compelling.
And it had captured
the nation’s attention. Hoist by
their own Manichean analy¬
sis, they searched our eyes for
which way to go.
It was fee next question,
though, feat began to sift those
who were trying to figure out
what we wanted to hear rather
than developing their own
ideas. At fee time of the
interviews, Mark Tully had
just pubfidy resigned from the
BBC to speak out about the
organisation, and its manage¬
ment Did they want to work
for such an organisation? Was
Mark Tully really a loss to fee
BBC? Hie answer was not
"Mark who?". What im¬
pressed were those with a
clear view on the issue who
held to iL
Independence of thought
was a characteristic of our
successful applicants. But un¬
masking candidates just good
at "performance" by testing
their depth of knowledge and
imagination was the purpose
of our next line of inquiry.
Candidates were asked to
think through the main ele¬
ments of a five-minute news
report following the sudden
announcement of the death of
a well-known figure. Normal¬
ly. octogenarian politicians are
picked. This time we occasion¬
ally went for people in the arts.
The ploy did its job: some
mistook Tom Stoppard for
Ayckbourn or Pinter.
Coming to the finish, there
was clear water between the
front group and fee rest
Finally, I either took a proposi¬
tion they had argued far and
argued against rt, or I asked
tiiem to lay out the main
elements of fee Korean story.
Or I asked them to name three
winners and losers in fee
impending Cabinet shuffle. Or
1 asked all three.
One candidate had sailed
through fee previous ques¬
tions. Confident, articulate,
assured. It was time for a bit of
white-water rafting. The re¬
shuffle? Every one right Ko¬
rea? Soon she was explaining
the roots of fee economic crisis
faring North Korea and sure-
footedly moving between one
Kim and fee next An argu¬
ment? She held her own. How
old? Twenty-four. The 45 min¬
utes had flown by — another
characteristic of successful
candidates.
At the end of the three days,
we had to pick our right In
front of us were Polaroid
snaps of each one. As usual,
the best and the worst were
easy to identity. It became
more difficult as we got down
to a dozen. Their test results
were brought out to help. In

cups of coffee, we agreed
unanimously an our eight

VIDEO viewing frequently
accounts for more than 10
per cent of fee audience of
any one television pro¬
gramme. Alexandra Frean
writes.
This week's Times tele¬
vision ratings chart com¬
pares live and "timeshift"
audiences. Timeshift viewers
are defined as those who
play back video recordings
of broadcast material within
seven days.
The two programmes with
the highest proportion of
video viewing are fee BBC1
situation comedy Birds of a
Feather and BBC Wales’s
The Healer, a drama about a
doctor with miraculous pow¬
ers. where timeshift viewers
accounted for 12 and 11.4 per
cent of fee respective total
audiences of IS and 6.1
million.
Competitive scheduling by
BBC1 and ITV at fee begin¬
ning of fee season accounts
for these high timeshift re¬
sults. Birds of a Feather was
screened against Yorkshire
Television's popular rural
police drama Heartbeat,
which ranks four in the live
viewing chart and attracted
a total of 14 million viewers.
The Healer played head to
head with Central's Soldier
Soldier, which was ranked
nine by live viewers and
attracted an overall audience
of 1 22 million.
The Friday edition of Gra¬
nada’s Coronation Street
scored the highest video
audience, wife 1.1 million
timeshift viewers, showing
just how important the VCR
has become in the life of fee
soap addict

Lamont splits Tories over Europe
■ The Conservative parry's uneasy 7 truce on Europe was
shattered after Norman Lamont raised the prospect of Britain
leasing the European Union and prompted a fresh outbreak of

Britain's way and of “wishful thinking" over the European
single currency.Pages 1,10-12

chairman of Hambro Coun¬
tiywide, said: “The estate
agency business is all about
local entrepreneurs, it is not
about fighting with monolithic
organisations and head office
accountants. If you take away
the individualistic approach I
think you fail to understand
the business and a lot of
institutions did just that”
Mr Sporborg added further
acquisitions could not be ruled
out in areas where the com¬
pany was under-represented.
These indude Leicester, “bits”

Commenting on the Nation¬
wide disposal, John Franklin
of Morgan Grenfell, the mer¬
chant bank, said: “I'm not at
all surprised. There has been a
fundamental change in the
housing market and people no
longer feel they have to rush
out every five minutes to move
house. Naturally this has led
to a substantial drop in trans¬
actions. In future I think the
estate agency market will be
rim by large specialist groups
like. Hambro Countrywide or
by very small local businesses.”

note of
Tunnel
threat
By Marianne Curphey
BRITISH Airways has admit¬
ted that it may have to cut
back capacity on its routes
from London to Paris when
the Channel Tunnel opens to
rail passenger traffic next
month.
The airline, which claims it
! is seeing a record growth in
business travel overall, says it
could use smaller airlines if
demand for the service was
denied by the launch of the
Eurostar service.
Robert Ayiing, the BA group
managing director, said: “I
doubt we will remove planes
from the service but the sire of
the planes may change. The
advantage of the airline busi¬
ness is that it can respond
flexibly."
Eurostar, the through-Tun-
nel rail passenger operator,
has made no secret of the fact
that h regards the airlines as
its main competitors and is
expected to set its feres
accordingly.
When the service is up and
running, more than 800 foot
passengers will be able to
board the train every hour at
London's Waterloo Station
and arrive in the centre of
Paris or Brussels some three
hours later.
At present. BA runs 24
flights daily between London
and the two Paris airports of
Charles de Gaulle and Orly.
The airline says it is difficult
to predict what effect the rail
service will have, but it could
replace the current Boeing 767
service, which carries 250 pas¬
sengers, with Boeing 757s
which have ISO seats. Airbus
A320s which have 145 seats, or
even Boeing 737s which cany
between 100 and 140
passengers.
Sir Colin Marshall, the BA
chairman, said that some trav¬
ellers on the London-Paris
service were ticketed to change
aircraft in Paris en route to
other destinations and would
not therefore be likely to
switch to rail. He also claimed
that the number of business-
dass travellers was now at “an
all-time record".

UNISON, Britain’s largest
union, is to push for a ruling
from the European Court of
Justice on a pensions test case.
The case relates to employees
transferred from the public to
the private sector as a result of
compulsory competitive
tendering.
Tomorrow, the union will
ask an industrial tribunal in
Sheffield to refer to Europe the
case of Richard Doughty, a
gravedigger/crematorium
diargehand, who was em¬
ployed by Rotherham bor¬
ough council for seven years.
In January, the borough's
gravedigging and cremato¬
rium service was contracted
Dphy, now part of
Water, and Mr
out to Broi
Thames
Doughty was transferred to
that company. As an employee
of the borough council, he had
been in the local government
pension scheme.
Although the Government
advises private contractors
that they should offer compa¬
rable pension schemes, they
are not obliged to do so.
The EC'S acquired rights
directive excludes future pen¬
sion rights. But Unison argues
that the directive can be inter¬
preted as suggesting that there
is a duty to pay benefits in old
age. It wants companies to be
obliged to provide comparable
pensions. Public-sector em¬
ployees usually have more
generous pension schemes
than their counterparts in the
private sector, including in¬
dex-linked pensions and more
inerous early retirement
generou
benefits.
Glyn Jenkins. Unison’s se¬
nior superannuation officer,
said companies' reluctance to
match public-sector pension
benefits was "a scandal".
Unison said that if Mr
Doughty had stayed in the
local government scheme until
the age of 65. he could have
tripled the benefits he had
already earned before his
transfer to the private sector. It
said: “This is typical of the loss
that many are likely to suffer if
companies are allowed to get
away with not offering any
pension provision for future
service."
Alan Jinkinson, Unison’s
general secretary, said: “This
is a test case ... and we are
prepared to push it to the hflL"
Brian Tranter, Brophy’s
managing director, said the
company was defending the
case at the Sheffield tribunaL
Employees taken on this year
after successful tenders for
work previously done by pub¬
lic-sector organisations could
join Thames Water's pension
scheme.
LDV signs assembly pact in Poland
lor smaD denomination bonk

PLC. Dmrant vans apply to hewdes 1

yesterday.
By RossTieman
INDUSTRIAL CORRESPONDENT
LDV, the British van builder rescued by
its managers from the collapsed Leyland
DAF group, has signed up a Polish
partner to assemble vehicles for an attack
on eastern Europe markets. Under terms
agreed yesterday with Andoria, a Polish
engine manufacturer. LDV will export
1 .COO van kits a year from its Birmingham
plant for assembly in Andrychow, south¬
ern Poland. The 400 series vans will be
powered by an Andoria turbo-charged 15
litre diesel, through a new five^speed
gearbox developed by hand Rover for its
Discovery model. Andoria will distribute
the vehicles through its Polish dealer
network.
The agreement with Andoria. worth up
to £20 million a year, is die first big export
order for LDV since the management
buyout 18 months ago. LDV has already
rebuilt its United Kingdom sales with
remarkable success, lifting registrations
in the first nine months of this year to
9,267 vehicles. Sales have risen 28 per
cent, thanks to strong fleet orders, price
cuts and improvements to the range.
LDV is also in talks to create a new
dealer network in France, Germany and
the Benelux countries. A Spanish dealer
has already ordered several hundred
vans.

Stives
earnings
rise by
a quarter
By Martin Waller
DEPUTY cm EDITOR
UNCERTAIN share and bond
markets sent the workload at
the fina ncial printing division
of St Ives, the specialist print¬
er, plunging in June and July.
But this did not prevent a 23
per cent rise in pre-tax profits,
ahead of exceptional items,
across the group in the latest
financial year.
Mites Emley, the chairman,
said the financial printing
market, hit by the dearth of
new issues and company cash¬
raising. had started to recover
but was stQl not back to the
high levels of business enjoyed
a year ago.
Profits before exception als
and tax rose from £22.1 million
to £27.2 million in the 12
months to July 31, pushing up
earnings per share from I5.L5p
to 18-46p. A final dividend of
4_5p makes a total up from
55p to 6.4p.
The pretax figure was de¬
pressed by the need, under
current accounting-principles,
to take a £4.91 million excep¬
tional item to cover goodwill
previously written off on ac¬
quisition of two businesses
sold during the year. The
reported pre-tax figure of £223
million, therefore, was little
changed on last time.
The figures exceeded City
forecasts, sending the shares
ahead by lOp to 325p. Mr
Emley said the improvement
had been sustained into the
current financial year, though
he remained cautious about
the financial printing side.
St Ives's magazine publish¬
ing customers had seen im¬
proved advertising revalues
and issue sizes during the
year, boosting volumes and
capacity utilisation.
Losses at the company’s
American magazine opera¬
tions, £135 million in the
previous year, were stemmed
and the business turned in a
£200,000 profit after returning
to the black in the second half.
In tiie book market, the
summer saw substantial de¬
stocking by big retailers. Mr
Emley said that if the Net
Book Ag re eme n t were abol¬
ished. tiie company would
benefit as print runs on
bestsellers would be im¬
proved, though there could be
some pressure on margins.

News Corp boosts
preference terms
THE News Corporation, the media group led by Rupert
Murdoch, is to improve the terms of its new class of
re s tri cted-voting preference shares, with the aim of raising
their likely market value relative to existing ordinary shares.
A new condition will ensure that the preference shares pay
dividends at least a fifth higher than those on tiie ordinary
stock. This will have no immediate effect, since the
preference shares will initially pay 73 Australian cents in
dividend, while the ordinary stodc will still pay only 3 cents,
but tiie preference dividends would rise were the ordinary
dividend to rise above 635 cats. '
A further condition, to be proposed as a change in articles of
association, aims to protect holders of preference shares in the
event of a takeover bid for News Corp, the ul timate owner of
The Times. Ordinary shares acquired in such an offer would
automatically convert into preference shares unless there
were a fully comparable bid for the new preference stock.
N Brown raises payout
N BROWN Group, the mail order retailing company whose
chairman is Sir David Alliance, said a return to more
seasonal weather recently resulted in a recovery from a slow
initial response to the autumn catalogue. The. company is
raising the interim dividend 20 percent to l-35p a share from
an adjusted 1.125p, payable on January 5- This follows a rise
in pre-tax profits to £103 million (£9 million) in the 26 weeks
to February 27. Earnings rose to 4.97p a share (4J5p). Home
shopping sales rose 15 per cent, with the number of people
ordering from its catalogues rising by S per cent
Changes at FR Group
FR GROUP, the aerospace engineering and specialist air
services company, is getting a new chairman and a new name
After 26 years Michael Cobham intends to band over the reins
to Sir Michael Knight at the next annual meeting. Directors
are also proposing to change the company’s name to Cobham.
honouring die presort chair man and his father, Sir Alan, who
between them have beaded tiie business since its incorpora¬
tion 60 years ago. FR Group reported a profits rise to £123
millio n (£103 milli on) before tax in tiie six months to the end
of June. There is an increased 2.7p interim (246p).
Welpac losses increase
WELPAC, the hardware and DIY products distributor,
which raised £2.7 million via a placing and open offer in
April, slumped to an unexpected first-half pre-tax loss of
£135 million (£138,000 loss). Welpac shares fefl 3p to 14p,
against the issue price of 25p. Over the six-month period,
turnover from continuing operations fell 22 per cent to £738
million from £10 million. The company said the proceeds of
tiie pl acing at the end of May corrected a lade of working
capital but had no impact on sales until after July. The loss
per share was 33p and tiie interim dividend is again passed.
Telegraph stake raised
HOLL1NGER, the Canadian company controlled by
Conrad Black, has spent £4.62 million buying shares in The
Telegraph, publisher of The Daily Telegraph and The
Sunday Telegraph. Mr Black also controls the newspapers.
On Monday, Hollinger. through a subsidiary, bought 1.4
million shares at 330p. This follows Friday's announcement
that the Canadian company intended to buy up to 63 million
shares in The Telegraph at, or around, current market
prices. The purchases lifted HoDinger’s holding m the
publishing group 1 per cent to 58 per cent

ASPREY. the upmarket jew¬

further share price fell, from

The company gave warning

Wall Street boosts shares
and bears run for cover
STOCK market bears were on
the run last night after London
share prices put in a late spurt
on the back of an opening 50-
point rise on Wall Street.
The FT-SE 100 index, which
had traded in narrow limits
for much of the session and
stood just 10 points higher
after lunch, responed quickly
to the early mark-up in New
York following better than
expected earnings from sev¬
eral US blue chip companies.
The index eventually closed
near its best of the day with a
rise of 40.7 at 3,073.0. Turn¬
over remained modest, but the
662 million shares traded
showed an improvement on
recent weeks. Dealers ex¬

Hambro goes nationwide
AFTER years of turmoil, losses and humbug
from the estate agency business, any com¬
pany that wants to be No.l in that market is
either mad or very clever. But Hambro
Countrywide is unlike, previous empire- ,
builders such as the Prudential and yester¬
days embarrassed vendor. Nationwide
Building Society, which has tost £200 million.
Hambro. which already has a chain of 450
agents, is picking up another 300 from
Nationwide for a song and paying little more
for Nationwide Surveyors.
Despite the issue of £12 million of shares to
Nationwide, the net proceeds to the building
society may not be much more Qian £2
million, as Hambro is getting the surveyors
with a handsome £10 million of cash.
Completion of the circuitous deal wDl leave
Hambro with a 6 per cent share of the nation's
housing transactions, along with same work¬
ing capital to change the name on the shops
and retrain staff. Then, the problems could

dividends to few. Selling homes is a cottage
industry. To he 6ur ft) Hambro, its strategy
emphasises local management controL
For Hambro, the deal will succeed if it can
boost volume at the new outlets — hs present
shops are do ing 30 per cent more deals—and
more importantly, increase the penetration of
insurance produces. Hambro’s rate of con ver¬
sion of house sales to insurance sales is double
the Nationwide rate. Hambro is risking no
cadi in this deaL but the share issue increases
pressure to raise profits and, with no sign that
the nation's households are on the move,
Hambro will be leaning heavily on its new
local managers.
Amersham Inti
FEW foreign companies
have made a success of
investments in Japan, bat
Amersham’s share price rose
after the company announ¬
ced a complex joint venture
which is expected to dilute
short term earnings.
Amersham is looking well
beyond the initi al effect on
earnings to the potential
prize of leadership world¬
wide in nuclear medicine
Key to the development of
the business is access to
markets: radiopharmaceuti¬
cal agents can have a life¬
span of as little as 48 hours
and Araersham's strategy
has been to build a manufac¬
turing presence in 'the key
markets of Europe, the US
and Japan, in 1990, the
company secured US manu¬
facturing capability and yes¬
terday's agreement with
Sumitomo Chemical will
provide both local manufac¬
turing and access to Nihon

market Combined, the two
companies wili be No.. .1.

eutkals with 32 per cent of
world sates of £800 milli on.
Joint ventures are general¬
ly easy to agree, difficult to
implement and a headache
to unwind. Wise to the
diffic ulties of working in
Japan. Amersham has been
in milks for -18 months with
Sumitomo . and is giving
itself a maximum of five
years to knit together its

St Ives
WHILE the cash piles up at
St Ives. Miles Emley, the
chairman, is being under¬
standably cautious about
identifying the long-awaited
acquisition, although he says
the chances of an eventual
deal are shortening. But he is
certainly not shy on splash¬
ing out on the sort of heavy
capital investment that St
Ives needs to stay ahead in
the still fragmented printing
industry.
The company is committed
to spending £47 million,
which will trickle out by the
end of 1996. at which stage
the company wfli have ex¬
panded printing capacity by
15 per cent Despite a mixed
outlook, this extra capacity
and some advance in key
markets should power im¬
pressive profit rises over the
next few years.
The group’s financial
printing remains in the dol¬
drums until the. market
rights itself and the outlook
for books remains uncertain.
since it is questionable
whether this summer's
destocking on the high street
will ever be followed by a
corresponding uptum in or-
ders. The US is back-into
pr o fit, though Mr Emley
concedes that it will be a long
slog until this business is
taking acceptable returns.
ma
St Ives significantly oyer-:
shot brokers' forecasts,
pr o mpting yesterday's share
price rise. The shares, assum¬
ing £31 million to £32 million
pre-tax this year, are selling
on a very reasonable. 15 tubes
earnings. ’ r "
Pentos
AFTER all the fuss about
golden parachutes and gold¬
en hellos for departing and
arriving staff at Bentos, in¬
vestors might have been for¬
given for hoping that they
would receive a prize for
sticking with the shares..
Alas, it was not to be. The
half-year figures show trad¬
ing losses in every area of the
business, but more alarming
is the continuing drain from
carrying obsolete Stock. In
Mantiu Pentos wrote off £56
mrffioq in a belt-and-braces
exceptional item that includ¬
ed massive writedowns on
slow-moving stock. The
clearing of the dedcs enabled
a new management team to
ask the City fra - £45 million to
" keep the business afloat Yet
something seems to have
been amiss in the January
audit since Pentos is again
writing off £10J5 million in ex¬
ceptional .costs, including:
stock-provisions: at Ryman
and Athena, while tighter fi¬
nancial controls ax DiHons
exposed more worms.
A company in such a par-
lous state can scarcely afford-
a witchhunt, but sharehold¬
ers will want to know why
Dillons' year-end balance
sheet needs to be revisited
after being blessed by direc¬
tors'and auditors. Sales at
Dillons are finally {ticking up

to have been overcome, but
with this record, who would

One year on, Costco
and Cargo Club are
- waiting for the
revolution, reports
Susan Gilchrist
B ritain^ warehouse dub indus¬
try is about to celebrate its
first birthday. Next month
heralds the anniversaiy of the
opening of the first ever dub by Price
Costco, the American retailer, at Thur¬
rock, Essex.
Ibe baptism ha? notbeen easy. Both
Costco and Cargo Chib, Nurdin &
Peacock’s new warehouse chib format,
have faced hostility from all sides.
Britain's big three supermarkets joined
farces in a fierce legal battle against
Costco to block the o pening of the first
she. Some leading brand companies
-have beat reluctant to supply the new
dubs, fearing that the rock-bottom
prices may undermine die imagg of
their brands' Meanwhile, there has
been no shortage of gloom and doom
merchants eager to write the industry's
obituary before it has even readied its
first aimiversaiy.
Yet in spite of it-all. there are now
four dubs up and running. In addition
to Thurrock. Costo has opened one in
Bushey, .Hertfordshire, while Cargo
Chib now has two sites — in Croydon,
and Wednesbury, in tbe Midlands.
Next month will see the opening of
Cargo Chib’s third, in Bristol, and
Costro has three further sites in the
pipeline.
So what is the verdict? Are ware¬
house dubs a revolution in shopping?
Or . will they turn out to be just a
footnote in British retailing history?
The answer probably fies somewhere
in between. Richard Hyman, of Ver¬
dict, the retail consultant says the
industry has bad a slow start but
believes if! is still very early days.
"Warehouse dubs are something com¬
pletely new to this country. As with
anything radical and new it takes time
to percolate into the Consumers’ con¬
sciousness. It wpuld .be foolish to expect
it to become an overnight successs."
* Mark Riches, managing director of
Cargo Chib, also takes a long-term
view. “Remember, in the US, dubs did
not malme. for three years.” Paul
Moulton, managing director of Costco,
agrees thatbusiness lakes time to braid
and says initial demand is following a
'ydy similar pattern to that experienced
( in-America.
. The biggest problem in coming to a
judgment is the lack of information.
Both: Costco and Cargo Oub are
notorious seCTetive and refuse to
disdose facts and figures. Cynics
assume this is simply .because tbe
figures do not make attractive reading.
However, Mr Moulton rejects .this
theory. “1 feel good about how well we
have been accepted, and sales have
been in lhte.with our expectations.**
The me snippet warehouse dubs are
willing to reveal is membership num¬
bers. Cargo Chib, which only opened
its fiist outlet in March, now has about
70,000 members. Costco has slightly
fewer, although it has more business
customers. These figures are dearly
encouraging and dispel claims from
coincidence that in the US the retail-
orientated dubs such as BJs or Face
have been the ones which have foiled to
deliver adequate returns.
But however much costs rise, the one
thing warehouse dubs cannot compro¬
mise on is price. Low prices are their
raison d’etre. As Mr Hyman says:
“They will only succeed if* they can
deliver sharp prices as they do in the
US. If they don’t, they will fail. In a
sense their Achilles’ heel is that price is
their only weapon."
Warehouse dubs certainly offer few
luxuries. The choice is limited, with
most outlets stocking only 3,500 lines;
the shopping environment is spartan;
and the locations sometimes remote.
But Costco and Cargo Club believe
they are delivering on their price
promise with most goods between 15
per cent and 20 per cent cheaper than
in die high street. The dubs also offer a
range of one-off items or wigigs (when
it's gone, it’s gone) as they are known in
the industry. Recent wigigs at Cargo
Club included a microlight aeroplane
for £7,999. a saving of £1,500, and a go-
kart for E599.99. down £100.
Mr Riches says aggressive pricing
has certainly rattled the competition.
“When we opened in Croydon, it was
flattering but also very irritating to find
so many mobile phones passing prices
back to head offices. Rather like going
to the opera, we are thinking of asking
our audience to deposit their apparatus
for safe keeping."
It is the desire to keep prices low that
has led warehouse clubs into a confron¬
tation with certain Japanese suppliers.
Some electronics goods companies
such as Sony have refused to supply
Costco and Cargo Gub directly, forc¬
ing the clubs to source products on the
grey market. Even by this dreuitous
route, they can still offer their members
substantial savings, but by going
direct, they could cut another 5 per cent
or 10 per cent off the price. Cargo Gub
has complained to (he Office of Fair
Trading and the European Commis¬
sion but Sony has yet to alter its stance.

Two economies,
but only one
market trend
R elations with other suppliers,
however, have improved sig¬
nificantly from a somewhat
frosty start Proof, perhaps,
that warehouse clubs are gaining
credibility. For example. Kelloggs are
now doing a roaring trade with Cargo
Gub. although it was initially reluctant
to provide Costco with the pack sizes
tile company wanted. Costco reports a
similar positive change in attitude
from many of its suppliers.
Changing the attitudes of consum¬
ers, however, may take longer. Ware¬
house dubs have certainly come a long
way in a year. Today, they probably
have sales of about £100 million.
The question is how much further
can they go? Mr Dorgan believes the
next year will be crucial. "As we pass
the first anniversary it will be interest¬
ing to see how many members rejoin.
That will be the add test." He says
warehouse dubs are unlikely ever to
achieve the startling success enjoyed in
the US, where they now form a £23
billion industry.
Mr Hyman agrees. He predicts there
may eventually be about 50 dubs in
Britain, although he believes the
operators wifi have to work hard m get
to that figure. “Warehouse dubs are
not a licence to print money. It is going
to be tough but 1 still believe there is a
market there."
Pile ’em high, sell ’em cheap: can warehouse dubs re-invent the wheel?
some critics that the membership fee—
about £25—would be a barrier.
But high membership does not
automatically mean high sales. Philip
Dorgan. a retail analyst at Goldman
Sadis, sakt “The membership take-up
has been good, the sales volumes have
perhaps not been so good-"
Mr Hyrnafl echoes this view. “To my
mind tbe quality of the membership is
a big issue. There was such enormous
publicity accompanying the opening of
some of these sites that a lot of people
joined for the novelty value: The
question Is how many of those people
will have their expectations fulfilled."
Tbe opening of Costco’s Thurrock
site attracted a blaze of publicity, most
of it unprompted and much of it
undesired by the conpany itself. Cargo
Gub was more deliberate in ns
promotional tactics, spending £Z5
million advertising tbe opening of its
Croydon dub.
While both companies are happy
with membership numbers, they con¬
cede there is more work to do to drive
sales. Cargo Gub’s Mr Riches says:
"Of tbe three key ingredients —
number of members, average spend
and frequency of visit — we have
exceeded our expectations in member¬
ship, are about right with basket spend
and are putting all our efforts into
increasing the frequency of visit which
is making steady progress." In a bid to
encourage regular visits. Cargo Gub is
now direct mailing its members to
advertise the latest monthly savings.
Generating higher sales is crucial to
the profitability of a warehouse dub.
By offering such low prices, the formal
has to work off low margins and the
bottom line is therefore highly sensitive
to any shortfall in sales volumes.
In walking this precarious tightrope,
many observers believe Cargo Gub
has made life difficult for itself by
trying to attract more retail customers,
particularly in food. This has forced it
to offer smaller pack sizes, which basin
turn increased costs. It is perhaps no
I t happened again yester¬
day. US bonds rose
about half a point: so did
gilts. The Footsie rose well
over one per cent; by tbe
time Wall Street was send¬
ing out for its sandwiches,
the Dow was most of the
way (here. Our two markets
remain in lock step. For a
long time, this made sense:
the early, slow stages of the
recovery in both countries
was so similar that current
US trends were a reliable
guide to future UK trends—
much better than the home¬
grown forecasts on offer.
But not any more.
Look here upon this pic¬
ture, and on this, as Hamlet
put it The US economy is
booming, shrugging off Fed
restraint and personal
spending is rising so much
faster than income that the
income statistics are suspect
The British economy is
slowing, with home spend¬
ing so sluggish that one
dearing bank is now play¬
ing with a forecast of zero
domestic growth next year.
The US boom is sucking in
imports, as booms da and
the current account of the
balance of payments is
heading deeper and deeper
into die red. The UK current
account is improving so
much Easter than even the
most optimistic forecasts
that again the official figures
are suspect Already you
might expect the dollar to be
weak and sterling strong;
but although sterling is a
shade up on the dollar, the
main event has been a
strengthening of both cur¬
rencies against the rest
But fiie contrast is much
sharper if you look at the
inflation picture. In the US.
there really are now signs of
indpient overheating. The
price resistance which hdd
bade imported inflation dur¬
ing the long dedine of (he
dollar from 1985 has faded:
recent dollar weakness has
come through in raw materi¬
al prices in a matter of
weeks. The labour market is
uncomfortably tight, and
while employers nave been
trying to get round their
difficulties by hiring part-
time workers, the part-time
agencies are themselves
having to offer higher wages
to meet demand. The only
dear bright spots are the
retail market where the big
discounters are still attract¬
ing all the growth dollars,
and the continued efficiency
□tirades of the computer
industry, now the sharp
edge of consumer spending.
Looking forward, the US
scene seems downright wor¬
rying. The US banks, which
have achieved record asset
and profit levels courtesy of
concealed subsidies from the
Fed. are scrambling for lend¬
ing business again, at mar¬
gins which recall the idiodes
of the late 1980s. It is dearly
dangerous to feed these men
too much red meat Mean¬
while, rising prices have
worked through from prima¬
ry to intermediate goods, and
could threaten to break out
The price index of the Nat¬
ional Association of Purchas¬
ing Officers, which reflects
current price trends for
bought-in supplies, reached a
sinister majority of 77.1 per
cent in August
No wonder the Wail Street
bond market reeled in horror;
but why did London suffer?
The UK economy offers few
such grounds for worry. The
much-discussed CBI price
wanting concerns future
wishes, often unachieved, not
current experience. Labour
constraints are historically
low, and unit costs still fall¬
ing. In the US. there is a
strong case for a further rise
in interest rates. In the UK,
even on (he cautious Clarke
view, only a weak case even
for the last one
S o why do both markets
dance to the same
tune? Why. for that
matter, has (he US bond
market rallied? The plausible
story is that neither is
reponding to economic news:
both are moved by money.
The current rally is partly the
normal bounce of an ex¬
hausted bear trend; but it will
probably appear when tbe
figures are known that it is
the result of the resumption
of normal service from Japa¬
nese savers.
The Nikkei has been a trap
for its supporters, and is now
rumoured to be propped up
only by the hidden hand of
the Ministiy of Finance. The
trade dispute with the US has
subsided into a stalemate;
and. the final tell-tale, the
over-valued yen is weak. Up
goes Wall Street, up goes
London. But when reality
reasserts itself. I would rath¬
er be in London.

Big players continue to bale out
of Britain’s estate agency market
The **:
I f a business strategist had
beat asked to devise a
plan fry which financial
institutions could tosea. lot of

have been “Buy estate agents".
In the ntid to Zate-I98Qs,

They bought up any outlet
which ocxud hang an estate

enough they tost bflHoris of
pounds between than. Tbe list
of losers reads like a Who's
Who of household names.
Leading the parade is the
Prudential, which alone wrote
off loses of £340 million. .The
Nationwide has lost a reported
£200 million. The Bristol and
West. Building Society, is still
negotiating the sale of 21 estate
agency branches although it
willkeep the upmarket Hamp¬
tons chain. In 1991. Chelten¬
ham & Gloucester baled out of
file market with estimated
losses of E5 million.
However, the disposal yes¬
terday of Nationwide’s estate
agency chain to Hambro
Oounfrywide, h e aded fry
Christopher Sporborg and
Harry Hill, for jusr £J may
mark the end of such fire sales.
Those that remain, such as the
Woolwich. Royal Insurance,
the Halifax and General Acci¬
dent. remain committed to tbe
market albeit with more clo¬
sures likely to follow.
Gary Marsh, an assistant
general manager of the HaH-

new mortgage business. In. the
first half of 1994. it accounted
Sold: Harry Hill , left and Christopher Sporborg bought Nationwide’s chain for £1
for more than 10 per cent or
£500 miflioa, of our new
mortgage lending of £5 billion.
We reported a small loss of £2
million at the half-way stage
after a reorganisation but we
expect to move into profit as
the overall level of housing
transactions picks up.”
Woolwich Building Society
last week dosed 18 estate
agency branches, some of
which were purchased from
the Prudential in 199L The
society paid nearly £21 million
to the Pru for the insurers
estate agency shops in the
Thames and Eastern regions.
Last year, the Woolwich made
a trading loss of £3.4 million
tm its estate agency, signifi¬
cantly less than fiie £11 million
loss in the previous year. A
spokesman said: "We expect to
come into profit with our
estate agency chain in 1995."
. Tim Baxall. general manag¬
er of Gsiera] Accident Proper¬
ty Services, said that its estate
agency chain remains a prime
distribution channel for the
company's financial services.
He added: "Our 360 estate
agency shops deliver 10 per
cent of the group’s annual
premiums. The target is to
double that contribution over
the next five years.”
Royal life said that it also
intends to remain in the estate
agency market and that its
losses are now falling.
David Wood, managing di¬
rector of Lloyds Bank's Black
Horse Agencies, believes that
although there may be a few
more big names who will quit
the market most will now
tough it out He said: *T think
tiiai those who have stayed in
the market may even want to
reinforce their position."
David Goldsworthy, a for¬
mer president of the National
Association of Estate Agents,
said: “It has cost same of file
big players billions of pounds
to find out that they were not
suited to the estate agency
market Their biggest problem
was that they tried to control
regional outlets from the top
and foiled to give autonomy to
managers who are frying to
run focal businesses. Basically
the corporates sfr'ffied the en¬
trepreneurial spirit They need
to stop all that form-filling to
keep head office happy."

EQUITY PRICES 31
Equities climb in late rally
TRADING PERIOD: Settlement takes place ten business days after the day of trade. Changes
are calculated on the previous day’s dose, but adjustments are made when a stock is ex-
dividend. Changes, yields and price/eamings ratios are based on middle prices.

There have been innumerable rode*

W ith fundraising virtually
an institutionalised as¬
pect of a career in rock
music these days, at
some point the question arises: who is
benefiting- more, the artist or tie
charity? ’
“Public gestures can have a good
effect, but it’s not difficult for some
acts to look selfserving," says Jona¬
than King, former pop star, publisher
of The Tip Sheet mid a longstanding
critic of what he sees as the rock-
charity merry-go-round. “Unless a
career is doing reafly well. I'd counsel
artistes never to donate their services
if cynics might point out it could
benefit them more than the cause,"
King says.
An anonymous writer in Time Out,
tiie London listings magazine, made
the case even more forcefully when
referring to the “little Pieces Ftom
Big Stars" exhibition which opened
last month at the Flowers East
Gallery, in which rock stars includ¬
ing Bowie; Brian Ena Bryan Ferry
and. Paul and Linda McCartney
' donated painting^, drawings and
sculptures to benefit the-WardiOd
charily: “Why can’t these old farts
just hand over the cash instead of
flaunting tiieir tired egos by pretend¬
ing what they do is‘art 1 ?"
With the best will in the world, the
relationship between celebrity and
charity is always going to be a
fraught and complex one. Geklof is
still better-known as the organiser of
Live Aid than be is as a musician.
These days neither he nor Ure talks
about the subject pubfidy, far fear of
reinforcing that link in people’s
minds.
"If artists are successful”, Glover
says, "then they do very well finan¬
cially. I think it’s important for them
to put something back. If it’s a career
benefit as well, men that's the way it
is. There’s no doubt that the big
charity concerts do promote some
people’s careers. But if it is making
money for a good cause, then so
what? Would it make the world a
better place if these acts were advanc¬
ing their careers without making any
money for charity?"
Scott-Heran takes a simple view of
the situation in Rwanda. “This is a lot
of people who need help, and ills the
sort of help that can be given if we
make the effort," he says. "Everybody
should do something and musicians
should not be excluded. Musicians
are just human beings, like every¬
body else. All we can do is make a
contribution."

THE vicissitudes of dance
music, since its revival in the
pop imagination during toe
Acid House years, have been
various. There have been
■ points when the genre seemed
headed towards implosion,
overly concerned with un-
memorabte so un dtracks for
the muddle-headed, and pro¬
ducing nothing of any lasting
interest j
In all this. Orbital 1 have
consistently provided albright
gleam' of intelligence:! Origi¬
nally from Gravesend* toe
brothers Phil . and i Paul
Hartnol have, since their 1991
debut album, provided*a reli¬
able index of quality and
inventiveness.
Although this has beta evi¬
dent throughout their, short
recording career — their new
album SnrnlisatUm displays
a virtuoso approach to elec¬
tronics textures- and 'dance
rhythm — it is equally present
in Orbital’s performances.
This reputation ensured a
capacity Academy crowd for a
duo who, despite the adula¬
tion, have always seemed re¬
luctant to play ! the hero-
musician role.
They chose to play from the
top of a scaffolding tower
situated in the centre of the
Academy's dance floor. For
Orbital
Brixton Academy
Burning}", “Remind" and
“Walk Now.. ."And. in doing
so, they made a sound which
commanded attention.
Ordinarily, such mechani¬
cal precision might suggest a
pre-programming which de¬
fies spontaneity. However, the
Hartnois are a flexible pair,
capable of peppering tiieir
performance with unusual im¬
provisations. The most unex¬
pected ones came in toe form
of a looped tape of Belinda
Carlisle (the pop singer not
exactly noted for her presence
at toe cutting edge of any¬
thing) which appears in the
middle of “Halcyon”.
It was written as a protest
against the tranquillised se¬
renity induced by certain psy¬
chiatric drugs, so to make too
many links between Orbital’s
track and Carlisle would be
libellous. If anything, it illus¬
trated. dearly and without
pretension, a wit containing
continuing promise.
Louise Gray
ONCE dubbed by Miles
Davis “the world’s most
impressive musician", own-
poser and multi-instrumen¬
talist Hermeto Pascoai
describes his music as
“bom in Brazil, but inspired
by toe Universe". As if to
demonstrate toe literal
truth of this somewhat
grandiloquent claim, his
first onstage act was to
produce a passable solo
from a kettle while mem¬
bers of his Brazilian band
banged pipes of different
lengths arid pitch on the
floor to provide both rhyth¬
mic and harmonic support.
Later m the evening, they
even accompanied toe flute
of Vinirius Dorim with a
quartet of squeaky toys.
Coming from almost any¬
one else, such eccentricities
might seem gimmicky or
contrived, but from Rascoal,
they seem perfectly natural.
For this ten-date British
tour he has brought with
him six of his celebrated
Sun Ra-tike commune of
Brazilian musicians to oper¬
ate alternately with a big
. band spedally assembled to
interpret his extraordinary,
rumbustious compositions.
Steeped as Pascoal’s
music is in the sounds of the
natural and physical world
it is. nevertheless, also de¬
cidedly contemporary. His
Brazilian septet in particu¬
lar is basically a fusion
Hermeto Pascoai
QEH
band, its sound firmly an¬
chored by Inhere Zwarg’s
electric bass and Pascoai’s
electronic keyboard.
Their half of the concert
provided an object lesson in
maintaining fluency and
irresistible momentum over
the trickiest — to non-
Brazilian ears — of
rhythms, and in saxophon¬
ist-flautist Dorim they have
a sensitive but powerful
world-class soloist.
The big band also had its
fair share of cogent soloists,
chief among diem saxo¬
phonists Peter King and
Chris Bisooe, who contrib¬
uted free-flowing improvi¬
sations with just the right
hint of tart eccentricity
about them. In pleasing
contrast. Julian Argue!les
and Iain Ballamy provided
liquid, tender solos for toe
occasional contemplative
piece, and trumpeter-con¬
ductor Guy Barker
punched out a couple of
typically vigorous but ex¬
quisitely poised improvisa¬
tions over Pascoai’s
complex rhythms, capably
laid down by toe Mondesir
brothers, drummer Mark
and bassist Mike.

AFTER watching a fair amount of
suffering on the stage; recently —
schoolteachers slandered.: towers be¬
trayed, 57 varieties of hope wrecked— I
found Sam Walters’S revival of this
engaging comedy a wdcome tonic. It
is not a frivolous trifle either riot the
sort where you can leave your brains in
the cloakroom, confident that they will
not be required for two hours.
Ibis Jules Remains play pokes
serious fun at foe gullibility of foe
human race — in particular, our
longing to take medicine. Because his
comedy was written in 1923 it happens
to be a doctor who transforms an entire
district of unhappily healthy citizens
into a flourishing community of happy
invalids. Writing today, his dedicated
hero might have been a homeopath or
one of our other contemporary discem-
ers of the ills we had not realised
afflicted us. So in a sense this is a
satiric comedy, although a world away
from the harsh and bruising tactics
that today’s satirists choose to employ.
Louis Jouvet — who created foe role,
and regularly revived the play to
finance his other projects — was afraid
that two of the scenes would be
considered too brutal, and (think the
reason they are not is that Dr Knock is
not quite a charlatan. He is a
passionate believer in what he preach¬
es, and In most of what he diagnoses.
In his marvellous speech in the last
act he gazes out at a panorama of 250
homes where, at ten o’clock foal
morning precisely. 250 patients will
take their temperature “for the second
time". It is these last four words (in
Granville Barker's translation) that
turn the screw foe little hit further and
take it into comedy again.

For 30 years this easygoing fdltiw
(Robert McBainThas assured his few
patients that they are mostly well and
at one point Geoffrey Beevers ntters a
short bleat of disapproval Once he
gets to work matters soon change. The
sturdy farmer’s wife who strides info
his consulting room erics scarcely aide
to a l and ^
Upright and commanding in his :
blade frock-coat and wing collar.
Beevers is a picture of foe courteous
fanatic. He enriches his performance
with a wealth of crisp little movements
and. in his moments of euphoria, goes
into transports of glee.
The other characters are drawn in
less depth, their function being to
provide foe steps for foe onward climb
of Dr Knock. Walters’s cast flesh them
out with appropriate wails of dismay
as their rude health buckles before his
expertise.
In the 1930s a critic called Dr Knock
"a little Fuhrer”, and the play can be
seen as a warning against ideology.
But if Romains intended this to be his
play's “medidhe", his spoonfuls of
sugar are his merry treatment of
human frailty, only slightly bur¬
lesqued. and his observation of how
rapidly we start feeling a symptom
once a doctor has dedared its prerence.

The secretly planted, refreshingly
individualised chorus of citizens"—
from a businessman to street-wise
youths — is suddenly and urgently
debating in our midst. Oedipus, in a
silk waistcoat like a Victorian aristo¬
crat until stripped down at the end to a
minotaur-Iike torso, angrily circles in

and the ox-blood
walls. Ancient
Greek, theatre is rendered immediate,
if not so close-to that it is distracting or.
proclaimed so near your ear that you ■
cannot really tisten. There is no sign of
the hobbled feet that Oedipus’s name
signifies, but at least his restricted'
course reflects a universe where,'to
thwart dootny oracles, he has fled
Corinth and his supposed parents,.
only to run into his true Theban family.

commanding acting-arena that its top
provides curiously underused. The
mimed enactments thereon, attempt¬
ing to visual Sophocles’S storytelling
speeches.about, foe past, are lame.
However. Andrew Loudon's. Nordic
hunk of. an .Oedipus exudes good-
looking arrogance,,though it is hard to
believe that, craving to see his children
bne.last time, he would be satisfied by
his rival handing him a toy. -
Matthew WoolcotTs Creon is sinis-
terly chilly. Paifioa Villa’s female
Tiresias, in a cruddy for coat like an
old bag lady fallen from befog a society
beauty, carries off croaky curses with
unexpected, success. However, charac¬
terisation .does teeter on the edge .of
melodrama: externally fra ugh t but
emotionally unwrenched at its centre.

I love The Ring, though. I’m a
Debussy and Ravd fan. They both
loathed ..Wagner.’ Debussy .said
Wagner needed 100 people to make
a theme; ail be needed was a piano.
But you cant help foving Wagner.
He's mesmeric. Haunting. He’S a
master -of evocative melody. I love
his thrusting orchestras: As for the
£ plot, you can guess what’s coming.
It's straightforward: German Vic¬
torian melodrama. All the gods,
flood- and thunder and killing.
Hitler loved ft. I admire Hitler's
taste in music:
1994 Booker Prize finalist
The Ring has been so much in my
head and. heart for half my life that I
hardly, know what 1 think of it It
has never ceased to enthral, delight
and shake me, from the astounding
opening of Rheihgold (perhaps the
most , original work of music ever
written] to the ineffable conclusion
of the whole cycle. No music with
the exception of Tristan and Parsi¬
fal , seems to me more charged with
meaning, or to reach more deeply
into life.

is screaming nnd there seems no
good reason why.it should ever end.

■
For me, Wagner's Ring is not an
allegory jof. my. own political and
social prejudices or (God forbid) of
anyone rise's. It is above, all a fairy
story of great psychological penetra¬
tion. as 1 well as. being a rich
chocolate 1 gateau of music. 1 go
mainly far the sensual seif-indul-
gence, and to be reminded that the
W intellect and the imagination can be

I don't think The Ring is particular¬
ly an attack on capitalism or
industry, as ft is sometimes por¬
trayed. I doubt whether Wagner
was even aware of what industry
was. No, the story is-simplistic and
crude, just a piece of neurosis, like
most Wagner operas: Teutonic mys¬
ticism mixed up with ideas about a
master-race. I don’t understand
why this one man should have had
such an impact, compared with
composers whom I consider far
superior, such as Mozart and
Haydn.

We heed not be distracted by the
absence of any logical scheme in
The Ring from being thrilled by the
grandeur of Siegfried's renunciation
— his refusal. like Eliot’s archbish¬
op, to do “the right thing for the
wrong reason”. Wagner was preoc¬
cupied with renunciation, a preoc¬
cupation linked to his interest in
Buddhism with its promise of
redemption through suffering. The
greatest act of which man is capable
— and capable because he is man —
is to choose death instead of life.
I have never been able to persuade
myself of the validity of George
Bernard Shaw’s theory, that The
Ring is a drama of today and not a
remote antiquity, despite the fasci¬
nating Patrice Chereau centenary
production at Bayreuth. I am far
more inclined to accept the view,
stated in an article (! cannot
remember whose) that Wagner
thought he was Aeschylus. But since
I am a tremendous non-Wagnerite.
my opinion about this seems to me
of little value.
The Ring exists on so many different
levels. As a painter I have always
been able to see the shape of music,
but Wagner defies space and time.
He wrote this on the wind, in a fire
or from the womb of the world. The
Ring is packed with images; meta¬
physical places; sensations. You can

physical, baptismal, sexual. You can
wash yourself in it and then you
cannot stop washing yourself. Play
it loud!
I shall nor go to The Ring, though I
find the music powerful. Wagner
wrote too many nasty things about
the Jews. And there is an innate
nationalism in The Ring, a glorying
in the German spirit. Wagner's
heroes are tall and blonde, seif-
regarding. His villains are small,
dark and dirty; they are the univer¬
sal enemy. Those prejudices, that
sense of superiority over others, is
very dangerous. Wagner was the
composer par excellence of the
Third Reich.

FESTIVAL: Another instalment of Mahler
Gift of myrrh in
clouds of incense
YURI Bashmet, who has giv¬
en the viola the high solo
profile more often enjoyed by
the violin or cello, once
described it as “the mystic of
the family’*, a label that per¬
fectly suited its contribution to
a pair of London Symphony
Orchestra programmes on
consecutive nights. They
began with the premiere of
The Myrrh-Bearer by John
Tavener, commissioned by the
London Symphony Chorus in
order to feature Bashmet as
soloist
Securely conducted by Ste¬
phen Westnop. the chorus
director, it is a sustained,
vocally dramatic cantata de¬
rived from Tavener’s favoured
Byzantine sources, contrasting
die solo viola impersonating
Mary Magdalene with con¬
gregational outbursts from the
chorus over a continuous vo¬
cal pedal. The interleaving of
instrument and voices, sup¬
ported by only two bass drums
and gong, has a mystical
quality with the viola round¬
ing more meditative than nar¬
rative. spinning a long,
sinuous line notable for the
beauty of its thought.
Bashmet was heard again
in The Viola in My life IV, by
the American Morion Feld¬
man who died in 1987. Again a
mystic quality was suggested
as the soloist teased out a twilit
song, mostly muted, against
LSO/Tilson Thomas
Barbican Hall
an equally subdued orchestra.
Here the conducting of Mich¬
ael Tilson Thomas had more
sensibility than his piano ac¬
companiment to the soprano
Ren£e Fleming and the beguil¬
ing clarinet solo of LSO princi¬
pal Nicholas Rod well in
Schubert’s Shepherd on the
Rock.
That found an incongruous
place in the programme, as if
Tilson Thomas was afraid his
conducting was not enough.
Nor was it notably adequate
for No 4 in his cycle of Mahler
symphonies with rhe LSO. His
approach to Mahler seems to
be a matter of living for the
moment, and never mind if
this or that passage ties up
with anything that follows.
His erratic shifts of gear
disrupted much of the first
movement’s progress, and the
following scherzo was neither
sufficiently cutting nor sinis¬
ter. The haunting Poco adagio
had a tendency to sound
lugubrious even when the
mood lightened, instead of
foreshadowing the heavenly
delights of which the soprano
sings in the finale, with Flem¬
ing voicing child-like charm.

CONCERT
Harps

Halle/Nelson
Free Trade Hall,
Manchester
AFTER decades of obscurity'
among the less fashionable
Victorian paintings in Man¬
chester City An Gailety. Dan¬
iel Maciise’s The Origin of the
Harp has emerged in a fresh
light It looks no better now
than it ever did but. since
Thomas Ades has found musi¬
cal inspiration in it. its sym¬
bolism has acquired hew
reverberations. There is no
harp in either the painting or
the music, but the crux of both
compositions is the moment of
transformation, where the
nymph of Celtic myth becomes
the instrument that allows her
to go harping on for ever.
That moment — signalled
by pizzicato violas and cellos
mingling with less dearly
identifiable sounds from per¬
cussion and prepared piano —
is not the most effective in
Ad£s’s Origin of the Harp.
The opening, in which a solo
darinei protests with more
passion than Maciise’s pale
nymph could have uttered, is
immediately arresting. Inter¬
est falls away in the middle
but is revived with an expres¬
sive cello melody represent¬
ing, no doubt, the nymph's
elegiacally musical future.
Making his first appearance
in the Free Trade Hall as the
H ally's Composer in Assod-
arion. Ades himself conducted
his oddly assorted ensemble
(three each of clarinets, violas
and cellos together with iwo
busy percussionists) in a first
performance which would
have been more useful if it had
been designed into an orches¬
tral programme rather than
grafted onto one.
The rest of the concert was
conducted by John Nelson
who is having much success
with Welsh National Opera's
Beatrice and Benedict and
who demonstrated that he is
scarcely less persuasive with
Schumann than with Berlioz.
If his admirably vital interpre¬
tation of Schumann’s First
Symphony was not the great
experience of the evening it is
only because it was followed
by a performance of Dvohak’s
Cello Concerto that must have
been among the most convinc¬
ing ever heard here.
Certainly, we are not likely
to hear more accomplished
playing from the principal of
any major conservatoire than
we heard from Lynn Harrell
on this occasion, fudging noth¬
ing, articulating every detail
and yet so unconcerned about
those things that the meaning
behind them was always ap¬
parent and precise in its
emotional effect.

THE TIMES
Tick here for quality
From dating agencies to ready-mixed concrete, Nick Biyant fUSH
— -——
traces the impact of Britain’s quality assurance scheme
I n 1979 the Ministry of De¬
fence, mindful of the need for
high standards of production
from its contractors, pub¬
lished the quality standard BS 5750.
The standard was soon being used
by engineering and manufacturing
companies, and then it was taken
up by such diverse sectors as the
legal, education and health
professions. *
Now. somewhere near 28X100
British companies (and 45,000
worldwide) bear the BS 5750 seal of
approval, the world's bestselling
standard, ranging from giants such
as British Telecom, iCI and BP to
smaller, family-run businesses,
and to public bodies such as die
Metropolitan Police and NHS hos¬
pital trusts.
Rather than being a product
standard or guarantee of product
quality, the BS 5750 (or BS EN ISO
900. as it has been renamed this
year) was designed to ensure a
consistent quality management
system. Thus, the emphasis is not
on inspecting products for faults at
the end of business process, but on
ensuring that errors do not occur in
the first place.
To gain approval, an organis¬
ation will first document a quality
system, detailing all the procedures
involved in the production of its
product or service, after which an
assessment is arranged to see
Paul Hewlett seeking integrity
whether the documented proce¬
dures are actually being imple¬
mented. Regular audits ensure
further compliance.
For the Castle Mead Health
Centre in Hinckley, Leicestershire,
the first general practice in this
country to achieve registration to
the BS 5750, it has meant phones
are normally answered within four
rings, prescriptions made out with¬
in 48 hours and patients rarely
waiting longer than 20 minutes.
Should it fail to reach these
benchmarks, the practice, with its
four doctors and 15 support staff,
will have fallen short of the
standard, and each failure will be
recorded and discussed at the next
practice meeting.
When in 1991 the Castle Mead
practice decided to begin the regis¬
tration process, its aim was to draw
up dear guidelines and procedures.
As practice manager Pat Sayers
explains: "Before we adopted"the
standard there was no way of
knowing how jobs were being
done. The effect of quality manage¬
ment has been obvious. The prao
tice has become far more effective."
The advantages of gaining BS
5790 are dear — in certain sectors,
most notably the construction in¬
dustry and public sector, it has
become a prerequisite for tendering
for key contracts, in a recent study
by Lloyds' Register Quality Assur¬
ance, 64 per cent of companies with
BS 5750 approval reported an
increased ability to tender for work.
As a marketing tool. BS 5750 also
attracts new custom, as Sirius, a
high-class dating agency registered
to die standard fn March this year,
has discovered. Kate Corbett, man¬
aging director of the Cheshire-
based agency, says: "The type of
people we want to attract to our
agency will instantly recognise
what the award stands for."
Equally important, the standard
can improve the internal efficiency
and morale of a company. A report
in 1992 showed that companies
without BS 5750 were35 times more
likely to go out of business than
those with it.
_
Pat Sayers, a Leicestershire practice manager, says the practice has become far more effective
Derek Prior, communications
director of the British Standards
Institution. BSI, says the standard
does not set out to dictate how
companies should be run. but is
simply a commonsense approach
from which any company can
benefit. “it helps to set up manage¬
ment systems and makes com¬
panies focus upon the needs of the
customer. It is all about building in
quality. Another crucial advantage
is that mistakes are spotted and
ironed out before they happen. The
savings can be colossaL”
The success of BS 5250 has
resulted in it becoming the model
for the international standard, ISO
9000, and the European, standard.

DAVID HOWELLS
G aining approval, or
registration, to the
new standard BS EN
ISO 9000 is. in theory at least,
relatively straightforward. In
practice, however, it can be a
drawn-out process, sometimes
lasting over a year.
Each applicant, after look¬
ing closely at the product it
manufactures or the service it
delivers, will first document a
quality system detailing all the
procedures involved in its
production. These procedures
will be in accordance with the
various dauses of the stan¬
dard. This process may in¬
volve an outside consultant,
who will advise how the
spedfic requirements of the
standard are to be met

practice was run, and our
quality system covered all
aspects of the business, from
ensuring that our technical
library was up to date to
making sure that all measur¬
ing equipment used by the
practice was maintained in a
known state of calibration."
Having put their quality
system m place, firms wiO
receive an assessment visit
from the relevant certification
body. Even when a company
has achieved registration to
BS EN ISO 9000, assessors
carry out regular visits to
check that the quality system
continues to identify activities
demanding acquired skills
and provide the required
training.
Advice for companies seek¬
ing the standard can be gained
from a number of sources. The
first option is to approach a
Department of Trade and
Indus try-approved consultant,
which is perhaps the safest
way. but almost certainly the
most costly. Charging up to
E300 a day, DTI-approved
consultants usually remain
with the client for 20 days —
although the length of the
assignment will vary.
Independent consultants, of¬
ten retired businessmen who
have gone through the regis-
David Kent won approval for his architectural practice
tration process themselves,
represent another option.
They are usually cheaper than
DTI-approved consultants.
A third alternative is to
undertake a training course
run by local training and
enterprise councils fTECs).
chambers of commerce or
trade associations. These may
run for five or six nights,
usually spread over a month,
and cost around EI.000. The
final approach is to do-it-
yourself with self-help man¬
uals providing a step-by-step
guide to registration.
Patricia O'Rourke of the BSI
says the most important thing
is to seek advice from consul¬
tants, or other advisory bodies,
who have experience of your
specific line of business.

THE term Total Quality Man¬

almost every manager com¬

Indeed, such has been the
widespread appeal of this
customer-based philosophy
that it seems almost unneces¬
sary to set up an organisation
whose central aim is to pro¬
mote its further use. Yet the
British Quality Foundation
was established in 1992 to do
just that, and has become an
authoritative voice for the
corporate development of
quality in this country.
The BQF provides advice
and services to member org- {
anisations. nurtures links
with bodies such as the CBI in
order to consolidate support
for business quality, and en¬
courages foundation members
to disseminate knowledge
from their own experience to
other companies.
Malcolm Franks, chief exec¬

promotion of total quality
management is crucial if Brit¬

in the global marketplace, and
if present standards of living
are to be maintained, let alone

show that, while this country
has some world-class com¬
panies. many have to make
enormous strides to become
competitive. The need for im¬
provement is equally evident
in the public sector," he says.
To accelerate this process,
the BQF has recently launched
the UK Quality Award, which,
says Mr Franks, will “recog¬

set benchmarks for others to

.the concerns of small bus£
nesses, was “the cost and com-
jrieadiy of the registration
process. The fees of consul¬
tants, normally around £300 a
day, were considered high,-
and their recommendations
often called for improvements
in management systems, such,
as the employment of. extra
staff of deployment of new
technology, which small firms
simply could not afford. -
The 'problems did not end
with registration. According to
the FSB,-each year its mem-
. bets were forking out millions
: of pounds in- on-going assess-

per company per year. And

unable tp compete without it
Faced with Whal some smaH
firms considered the prohibi¬

, many therefore turned instead

, ulated by the International
Motinting criticism on costs has
persuaded the certification bodies
to tailor a cheaper package
Registration Board (itself
managed by the Institute of
Quality Assurance), but not
accredited by the NACCB.
The situation has been dif¬
fused somewhat as a result of
the efforts from the certifica¬
tion bodies to offer a better
deal to small businesses. As¬
sessors increasingly are using
theirdiscretian, having accept¬
ed that small firms find it
difficult to meet certain
standards. ’
The socalled “big five^.certi-
ficatiori bodies — BS1 Quality
Assurance, Bureau Veritas
Quality International Ltd,
Uoyds’ Register Quality As¬
surance, National Quality As¬
surance Ltd and SGS Yarsley
International Certification
Services Ltd — have simplified
the registration process and
are now offering a cheaper
package to small businesses.
As Ayo Martin, business
manager at Lloyds'■ Register
Quality Assurance, explains:
“A quality management sys¬
tem can be approved for as
little as 0,600. We want small
businesses to know that we
have listened to their concerns
and addressed the issues relat¬
ing to cost and practical
implementation."

i be concept of total quali¬
ty management (TQM)
.v is basically very simple.
Each part of an organisation
7 has customers, whether within
. or without, and they need to
- . identify what the customer's
’ - requirements are. arid tbenset
'.about meeting them. These
" fectors form the basis of a total
quality approach^' -
This requires three hard

teamwork. These are comple-

The key to success is to align
the employees' roles arid re-
spoosibiUties with the organis¬
ation and its processes-Tltis is
the coreof business process re¬

quality alignment When an
orgariisatian focuses on these
key' processes rather than on
abstract issues such as “corpo¬
rate culture", the change pro¬

process. Many change pro¬
grammes do not work because
they begin .by trying to change
the kriowtedge, attitudes and
beliefs of individuals.
What is required, however,
■ . is .virtually the
opposite pro-
based oo
1*
quired for the successful intro¬
duction of a good -quality
system, or the implementation
of SFC, should concentrate
everyone's attention on t he
customer /supplier interface,
both inside and outside the
organisation.
Total quality management
involves consideration of. pro¬
cesses in ali the major areas:
marketing, design, procure¬
ment. operations, distribution.
etc. Clearly, these each require
considerable expansion and
thought, but If attention is
giwvn to all areas using the
concepts of TQM, very Bute
will be left to chance.
A well-operated and docu¬
mented quality management
system provides the founda¬
tion for the successful applica-
■ tion of techniques and
: teamwork. It is not possible
■ simply to “graft" these on to a
poor quality sysion.
In several large organ¬
isations, such as Exxon Chem-
*#al. Prudential Assurance. BP
^TJhcmicals, Unilever C art-
panics. National .Westminster
Bank and ICL in which total

cess,
the recognition
that people’s
behaviour is
determined
largely by -the
roles they have
to take up. If we
create for them
new responsi¬
bilities, team
roles and a pro¬
cess-driven -en¬
vironment, a
new situation
will develop
that will force their attention
and work cm the processes.
This will change the culture.
Teamwork has been an
especially .important part of
TQM in bringing about
change in the organisations
mentioned above. If changes
are to be made in quality,
costs, market, product or ser¬
vice devdopment, dose co¬
ordination among the market¬
ing, design, production/-
operations and distribution
groups is essential- This can be
brought about effectively only
by rnultHunctional teams un¬
derstanding their inter¬
relationships.
BPR challenges managers
to rethink their traditional
methods of doing work and to
commit to a customer-focused
process. Many outstanding
organisations, including Hew¬
lett Packard, have achieved
and maintained their leader¬
ship through process re-engi¬
neering. Other companies
usine these techniques, such
as Kodak and Rank Xerox,
have reported significant bcu-
tom-Iine results, inducting bet¬
ter customer relations, reduc¬
tions in cycle time to market,
increased productivity, fewer
defects or errors arid increased
profitability.

understand and respond to the
needs of small firms, and both
the reporting structure and
assessment process have been
streamlined. Like LRQA SGS
Yarsley International Certifi¬
cation Services has launched a
new package for small firms,
with a monthly payment op¬
tical to help to defray costs, and
a self-assessment question¬
naire so that small firms have
a better idea of when they are
ready for formal assessment
. As Peter Marriott opera¬
tions director of SGS Yarsley.
says: This is not a second
division scheme. It provides
the same certification, but a
different way of getting there."
Cotin Baker of the FSB
accepts that certification bod¬
ies have tried hard to address
the concerns of smaller clients,
but says there is still some way
to go- “What they have to
realise is that if you aim
standards at the lowest com¬
mon denominator, the larger
companies can crank them
up." He also says that too
many companies are asking
for proof of BS 5750 before
placing orders, placing an
unnecessary burden on small
firms.
Yet Mr Baker is confident
that with increased competi¬
tion between the certification
bodies, prices will get lower
and the level of service will
further improve.
Rob Elliott managing direc¬
tor of Wren Electronics, an
Uxbridge-based company
which produces fibre optics for
the telecommunications indus¬
try, says the new services on
offer represents a vast im¬
provement on previous regis¬
tration processes.
“After experiencing difficul¬
ties in our early attempts to
gain certification, we found
the new process much more
user-friemflyr says Mr Elliott
“Previously, the process was
loaded with paperwork, and
all of us were surprised to see
that much of that had been
done away with."
Robert Elliott (left) and Nigel Holloway of Wren Electronics found the new process “much more user-friendly”

tbe shortage of property cm the

Examples include Wardour Cas¬
tle, formerly home to Cranboume

selling quickly and often for more
than the asking price, according to
the latest housing market survey
from the Royal Institution of Char¬
tered Surveyors.
Buyers are especially attracted to
the spacious rooms available, says
Nigel Tuersley. the owner of
Wardour Castle, who has created a
home around the vast central
■ ■ rotunda, and is
converting the top
)lS dO floor of the house
into three new flats
thin PC to let for around
uuiiga £ 20,000 a year
lltrftll each.
Li.Lti.LLL Mr Tuersley says
there has been a
iLlca very strong interest
' both nationally and
internationally in
toe property since it went on the
market m September.
. But potential converters may find
the costs high. “Renovation was a
weighty task at Wardour Castle as
Mr Tuersley had to undo all Jhe
terrible things schools do to beauti¬
ful properties,” says Barbara
Lancnard, from the agents John D.
Wood.
Renovation has cost £15 million
so far, but this does not include
essential work to toe grounds and
courtyards. This is expected to
come to a further E500.000.
Developers are capitalising on
toe trend. A school house in Pages
Walk, in London SE1, has been
converted by the developers Pearl
Property into 58 flats. Such conver¬
sions are attractive to homebuyers
as toe developers are careful to
keep original architectural features
such as the Victorian tiles, windows
and wooden floors of toe school
house.
Fairbriar homes has divided
Farley Castle, near Wokingham in
Berkshire, into three homes, con¬
verted at a cost of €300,000. The
bouse has been a hotel and, more
recently, a school. In 1958. a Miss
Woolley adapted toe house to
become the Hephaistos School for
handicapped children, which it
remained until 1988. All die homes
hare now been sold.
Savills have already had much
interest from private buyers in
another. former school. St Mi¬
chaels, near Petworth in West
Sussex, on the market for £2
million. Within striking distance of
London, it is set in 150 acres of
grounds with a 20-acre lake. From
1946 it was home to an independent
girls' school, and a buyer would
have to bulldoze tbe ugly modem
accretions built to accommodate
toe girls. Nick Sweeney from toe
agents cautions that toe building is
Grade I fisted, and any alteration
would need sympathetic handling.
FOR years one of Britain's
earliest examples of an industrial
building, in Devizes, Wiltshire,
has beat allowed to slide into
dereliction.
John Anstie built his mill in
New Park Street in 1785 to supply
silk to toe French aristocraoy.
and went bankrupt in 1793.
Employing some of toe first
spinning jennies and identified
as a forerunner of industrial
buildings, Mr Anstie’s mill was
later used as a militia store,
poorhouse and, most notably, as
a snuff and cigarette factory.
Tobacco production ceased

condition. Anstie's original three-
storey building is listed Grade II*
(toe remainder of the site is
simply Grade II). and toe local
authority, Kennet District Coun¬
cil, has acted for English Heri¬
tage in toe statutory obligation to
secure toe mill's best interests.
Over the years, different specu¬
lative owners, a scrap dealer
among them, presented toe coun¬
cil with numerous unacceptable
solutions, including
demolition, while
the buildings rapid¬
ly deteriorated.
' Then in 1992, the
Midlands-based Fo¬
cus Housing Asso¬
ciation made
Kennel an offer it
could not refuse.
Prevented from
building council
houses since 1988,
Kennet has 1,600
households on its
waiting list and is
heavily dependent
on housing associa¬
tions for toe provi¬
sion of new social
housing.
Focus proposed
converting Anstie’s
factory into 27 flats
and cottages, and in
return for a council
grant of around
£500,000 towards
acquisition and dev¬
elopment Kennet
xuynull would be able to
nominate the tenants. The coun¬
cil accepted that residential use
would involve making some
alterations to toe building's inte¬
rior. but Ian Lund. Rennet's
conservation officer, believes that
Focus has not adversely af¬
fected the factory's architectural
integrity.
“Metropolitan in scale and
classical in shape, this is an
important building," Mr Lund
says. “The compromise has been
in the sub-division of toe floors
into housing units, and in the
insertion of a concrete stairwell.
But this is a very sympathetic
renovation."
The architects who executed
the £1.4 million conversion.
Bruges Tozer of Bristol, have
built essentially new structures
behind old facades in areas of toe
site away from toe main build¬
ing. The star status of John
Anstie's factory is, however, ac¬
knowledged by Richard Swann,
toe architect
“The importance of the build¬
ing is in its historical signifi¬
cance." says Mr Swann, “This
was the first time lines of ma¬
chinery were assembled in one
space,* rather than work being
scattered under the cottage in¬
dustry system, and we paid great
attention to toe detailing — we
tried 12 different mortar mixes,
for instance, and were at pains to
ensure toe ironwork was
authentic."
Work on Mr Anstie's fine
building has been completed in
barely a year, and the first
tenants are moving in this week.
Kennet Council is to be congratu¬
lated on an outcome that serves
the architectural heritage of
Devizes as well as the practical
needs of its citizens.

Worse news came from, the Nation¬

Halifax’s—is not seasonally adjusted. It

Eva Lomas, the association's presi¬

“Though interest rates are still at

The survey showed a fall in toe levels

F rom a letter from Sir
John HaD, chairman of
Newcastle United Foot¬
ball Club, to The Journal of
Newcastle: “It is the Board's

communicate with any repre¬
sentative of your newspaper
and have decided to withdraw
The Journal newspaper’s

Or to put it another way:
“If s a working principle of the

ple is justified by the consum¬
mate organisation of die

Control. That is the key
word, lan Botham's “autobi¬
ography" is a long whinge
about what the ghastly, horri¬
ble press has done to him.
The interesting matter here
is not the rights of the press. It
is the feeling among sporting
people that they should be
able to exert some control over
what people think.
There is a tendency for
many public figures and org¬
anisations to think of press
and public as utterly separate
categories, when in fact we
are one and the same thing.
But try telling that to anybody
in sport It is Botham's dear
belief that every member of
the public loves him, while
every journalist is consumed
by a jealous loathing.
The truth is that press and
public alike think Botham
was a wonderful cricketer
capable of behaving like a
complete buffoon; few miss
the point that the two dungs
are different aspects of tie
same tumultuous nature.
In sport only in sport
people somehow expect blind
allegiance, to people, to teams,
to organisations. We are ex¬
pected to leave our minds at

disloyalty. But the Conserva¬

duty of the England press to

Unexpected

Bullish Ballesteros pursues recor
-CHFSSSMTTW
of Mansell
lifts Hill
By Mel Webb
NIGEL Mansell began the
preparations for his latest
return to Formula One yester¬
day when he shrugged off the
effects of an arduous journey
from California and made an
unscheduled appearance in a
Williams-Renault vacated by
Damon HOI at a test session in
Estoril, Portugal (Oliver Holt
writes).
Mansell was supposed to
scan testing here today to
refamiliarise himself with the
car in readiness for Sunday's
European Grand Prix in Jerez,
Spain, where he has replaced
David Couithard in the Wil¬
liams team.
But as soon as Hill had
finished his allotted laps an
hour after lunchtime, a tired
Mansell drove a series of laps.
Not surprisingly, he did not
threaten the day's quickest
times which were set by Hill
and Michael Schumacher.
Hill, who is now just one
point behind Schumacher in
the race for the world title with
three grands prix logo, said he
was happy Mansell would be
his partner. “Let us say I
objected to Nigel coming back,
what could I do about it?” Hill
said. “1 have every reason to
believe he will be there to help
me win the championship. If I
win a race that has got
Schumacher. Mansell and
Berger in it then I will have
proved myself world class.
“I think l have done that
already but some people still
seem to have reservations.
People are reluctant to declare
anyone a great driver. It is
now down to a three-race
sprint for the championship
and this test session has given
me grear encouragement"
WHEN Severiano Ballesteros
was not invited to play in the
Toyota World Match Flay
Championship that starts at
Wentworth tomorrow, it creat¬
ed a storm that rolled relent¬
lessly around the foothills of
golf for days on end. Then the
fates relented. Ballesteros was
restored to the event, and
yesterday he had the glint of
battle in his eyes when he
talked of winning the title for a
record sixth time.
Ballesteros was asked to
play when John Daly, origi¬
nally selected for the World
Match Play, voluntarily ended
his season early following a
juvenile scuffle in the car park

with the father of a fellow
competitor at the World Series
in Akron last month.
The International Manage¬
ment Group, the promoters,
were thus let neatly off the
hook after being sent scurry¬
ing for their flak jackets when
they failed to invite Ballesteros
to play in his nineteenth
consecutive World Match
Play. It was a decision that
made them about as unpopu¬
lar as a ferret in a rabbit
hutch.
Ballesteros comes to Went¬
worth this week feeling as fit
as he has done for a long time,
one small incident last week
notwithstanding. To harden
himself for the prospect of
playing 36 holes a day. he
spent his week at home in
Pedrena exercising, walking
on the nearby beach, twice
playing two rounds of golf in a
day — and foiling off his
bike.
He has always been a keen
cyclist and was taking a
training spin last Tuesday
when his shoe lace caught in
the sprocket and he was sent
spinning. Was he speeding,
somebody asked him.
"Hardly," Ballesteros said. “I
was going uphill at the
time."
He gave himself a stiff
shoulder and one or two other
aches and pains, but it did not
seriously hamper his training,
and he is happy that the
exercise regime he learnt from
his six-week visit to a sports
medical centre in the United
States last winter has
strengthened his creaky
back.
Ballesteros was given a
reprise of his first-round
match last year when the draw
was made yesterday and.
though he would not admit h,
is sure to harbour small
thoughts of revenge. His oppo¬
nent for the second year
running is David Frost who
makes up for the fact that he is
seriously charismaticalJy chal¬
lenged with a sort of dogged,
steady-Eddie accuracy that
makes him a stem opponent
for anybody.
The South African beat
Ballesteros seven and six at
Wentworth last year, a result
that Ballesteros admitted yes¬
terday was the lowest point of
a calamitous season, after
which more than a few won¬
dered if he might even have
come to the end of a long
and glorious career, that
the au revoir might become
adieu.

for having scored eight penal¬
ty goals in an international.
Dominguez accomplished
that feat against Romania in
Catania last month and no
Bess a player than the world*
leading points scorer, Michael
Lynagh, warned yesterday:
“He’s an excellent goaOdcker
and also lacks well in open
plagr. If he gets any penalties in
the opposition half, bell land
them. The Welsh must be
aware of that and keep their
disapfine.".
It was against Lynagh*
Australians last summer that
Italy gave notice that they
woe to be taken seriously-
Unbeaten outside the interna¬
tionals, they Tan the Wallabies
to 23-20 ana 20-7 in Brisbane
and. Melbourne, and have
improved their set-piece work
considerably. However,
Georges Caste, -their coach
from Perpignan, said; “We
could'lose all we achieved in
Australia if we lose by a big
score' against Wales. I am
convinced we can compete
with any scrum in the world."
With many lineouts too, judg¬

Carlo Chaxhinato againstRo-
mania, who themselves out¬
played Wales in that phase in
Bucharest a fortnight before.
; Wales have the opportunity
to play a game of breadth
since they admit they lack the
sheer size and bulk available
in other nations. '

and there may be some tight
contests — none more so,
perhaps, than Basingstoke’s
meeting with Clifton. They
enjoyed a tremendous first-
roond tussle four years ago
before Clifton emerged vic¬
torious by four points.
Three of the second-round
games ended in one-point
wins Clifton at Ruislip, Scun¬
thorpe at home to Hereford,

Tynedale were 19-3 down in

Bath poised
to offer
comeback
chance
to Guscott
By David Hands
BATH’S selectors this evening
choose their XV to play West
Hartlepool on Saturday, amid
speculation that Jeremy
Guscott is poised to make his
return to rugby union after
almost a year. The England
centre will not commit himself
beyond confirming his avail¬
ability for any of the club's
teams, but Bath may feel they
require his midfield skills
sooner rather than later.
Guscott, 29, played only
three games last season before
a pelvic condition became too
much for him. Prolonged rest
has left him pain-free, al¬
though some six weeks of
treatment must still be com¬
pleted. He has trained with his
dub and with the national
squad and colleagues confirm
his good health.
However, Bath must first
decide .whether it is appropri¬
ate even for so talented a
player as Guscott to return to
first-division league action
straight away, or whether he
should play a second-team
game to convince everyone of
his well-being. He trained
with Bath’s forwards on Mon¬
day and admitted: “I had not
had any physical contact and
it's the part of the game you
need to think about when
you've been out so long with
an injury."
Jacques Olivier, the North¬
ern Transvaal wing, has been
brought into the South African
party to tour Wales. Scotland
and Ireland after the with¬
drawal for disciplinary rea¬
sons of James Small.
Mark Taylor, the Fontypool
centre, wins his first A cap for
Wales against the South Afri¬
cans at Newport on October
26. He is joined by another
debutant, Rob Appleyard.

COURAGE BEST WEEKLY SCORE
The highest-scoring team on October S
was Sawboy Terriers, which was select¬
ed by Ms Russell of Sawbridgewortb,
Hertfordshire.
Her team achieved a rated points score
of 720, which boosts it to the position of
95th overall.
Still leading this season is Mr Gary
Pierce of Cheshire whose team. Baby in
Wailing, remains in top spot for the third week running.
Ms Russell wins two cases of Courage beer and a fully installed BT
satellite system, enabling her to follow Sky Sports' coverage of the
Courage Clubs Championship.
The chib prize of five cases of Courage Directors Bitter, a Courage
Best England shin and an England training shin signed by the current
England squad, goes to Harlequins RPC which, in the case of the shins,
might seem rather like taking coals to Newcastle - but no doubt they will
be able to raffle them to good effect.

Grafs withdrawal
deprives Brighton
STEFFI Graf; six times toe champion, yesterday pulled out
of the international women’s indoor tennis tournament at
Brighton, which begins next Tuesday (Stuart Jones writes).
Martina Hingis, the latest professional recruit on the
Women’s Tennis Association tour, also announced that she
has declined to enter. Neither withdrawal was a surprise.
Graf, inactive since she lost to Arantxa Sdnchez Vicario in
toe final of toe US Open last month, is pursuing a full
recovery from a persistent back injury; Hingis, even at the
age of 14. is being manoeuvred by her sponsors.
Jana Novotna, the champioa will take Grafs place as the
top seed in a field which has been significantly weakened. It
is to feature only three other members of the world’s top 20 —
Mary Joe Fernandez, Magdalena Maleeva and Anke
Huber, the runner-up last year.
Slow going in Harare
CRICKET- Sri tanka crawled to 157 for one on the opening
day of tberr first Test match against Zimbabwe in Harare
yesterday. In a painfully slow start to fire three-match series.
Sri Lanka, who won the toss, scored 51 runs in the opening
session, 47 in toe second and 59 in the third.
After a full day's play of 90 overs, Asanka Gurusinha, the
opening batsman, was unbeaten on 67 and Sanjeewa
Ranatunga, his fellow left-hander, on 65. The pair have so
far added 129 runs for the second wicket in a partnership
which spanned both lunch and tea. Both players look 4*2
hours in reaching their half-centuries. The fewest runs in a
day’s Test play was 95. between Pakistan and Australia at
Karachi in 1956.
British trio qualify
YACHTING: Stuart Chfideriey, David Bedford and Andy
Beadsworth. from Great Britain, have all won through from
the qualifying rounds to compete in the Omega Gold Cup
match race championship, which starts today in H amilto n
harbour, Bermuda. In a tough opening round, Bedford is
drawn against Peter GAmour, from Australia, the world
Nol. while Chfideriey meets Magnus Holmberg. from
Sweden. At least one British skipper will reach the second
round, however, as Beadsworth faces Chris Law, the fifth
seed. Eddie Warden Owen, toe second of the British seeded
skippers, faces a tough challenge from John Cutler, of New
Zealand.
Chen has eye on medal
TABLE TENNIS: Chen Xinhua hopes to repeat toe
achievement of leading England to a medal in the world
team cup when England begin their five-day campaign at
Nimes. France today. Chen, toe former China international,
helped England to a bronze on his debut for his adopted
country four yean ago, and now at the age of 34 is arguably
playing belter than he was then. England first meet Austria,
the second seeds in their group.
Hingis opens in style
TENNIS: Martina Hingis started her second professional
tournament with a confident 6-2 6-1 victory over the
experienced Helena Sukova, from the Czech Republic
Hingis, who only recently turned 14. took just 45 minutes to
dispose of Sukova. 15 years her senior, in toe first round of
toe Filderstadt tournament Sukova could not find any
answer to the Swiss girl’s play, especially her passing shots.
Vikings on rampage
AMERICAN FOOTBALL: Anthony Parker returned an
interception 44 yards for a touchdown and Warren Moon
threw for 299 yards and another score as the Minnesota
Vikings beat toe New York Giants 27-10. The victory moved
the Vikings level in first place with Chicago in the NFC
Central and put a damper on toe celebrations on a night
when Lawrence Taylor’s No 56 was retired.

Bobble hats shipped out as
Simonsen: m

: managing to
by example
"THE nightlife," the market¬
ing manager for die Faeroe
Islands Tourist Board said, “is
not something that takes your
breath away." So, within four
hours of arriving in Scotland
for their European champion¬
ship qualifying match tonight,
the Faeroe Islanders were
clubbing at Victoria's. By pop¬
ular vote, it was better than
anything back home. “More
expensive, but bigger and
much louder music,” one said.
In case Allan Simonsen is
reading this, it must be noted
that the Faeroes nightclub
party comprised officials and
journalists only, no players.
Until recently that might have
been different bit Simonsen's
appointment as manager last
January has brought a sharp¬
er professionalism to the
squad of amateurs bom die
group of 18 islands 364 miles
off Aberdeen in the North
Atlantia "A group of green
islands in the purest ocean in
the world. Ear away from the
smoke and noise of the big
cities.” the brochure says.
Population 45.000 and falling.
You may remember Simon¬
sen- He was die 1977 Euro¬
pean footballer of the year
while with Borussia Mon-
chengladbach and a diminu¬
tive dynamo for Denmark
who later played for Chariton
Athletic. The Faeroes is an
autonomous province of Den¬
mark. with the world’s small¬
est parliament and Simonsen
became manager because he
wanted, he said, to help the
Faeroes. “I am trying to make
the players more professional
in their outlook." Simsonsen
said.
Now, a Faeroese who wants
to play for his country cannot
talk to the media without the
manager's permission. Nor
can he behave like a tourist
and visit the sights. The goal-
David Powell on the football minnows out to
make waves with a professional approach ’
keeper who used to wear his
bobble hat during matches
has given it up because he
wants to look serious.
Simonsen has squeezed the
cartoon humour out of Faero¬
ese footbalL
“We look up to him as a
great player and he inspires us
through his personality," Jens
Erik Rasmussen, the forward,
said. “He has played at die top
and knows everything.” Per¬
haps not everything, but more
than anyone in the Faeroes
since Scottish visitors intro¬
duced diem to the game in
1892.
“We are not used to this
super-professional way of do¬
ing things," Jakup Midjord,
the team doctor, said “Before,
we had a more relaxed atmo¬
sphere. The players could go
swimming and shopping.”
The shopping had to be
done before Simonsen arrived
on Monday, the day after die
main party. Not that they
could afford much. The aver¬
age income tax in . the Faeroe
Islands is 54. per cent and.
apart from a small allowance,
the players are not paid to
represent their country. Even
die incentives would not stand
a good day's shopping: £100
each if the team scores; £200
for a draw; £400 for a win.
"This morning they went
shopping, now the fun is
over." simonsen said as he
arrived. On the training
ground he queried the absence
of nets from the goals. The
Faeroese have been staying in
a second-class hotel, but
Simonsen-drew a tine at
training withoutnets.
Talk of nets among Faeroese
normally comes in connection
with fishing, fishing accounts
for 90 per cent of trade there
and, as if to remind Scotland
thai their visitors- are ama¬
teurs living temporary lives as
professionals, the Faeroes win
be playing without Abraham
Hansen, their, captain. Hare
sen was unable to get time, off
work; gone fishing instead. \
There is only one profes¬
sional theatre in the Faeroe
Islands, one decent nighfeUib,

almost noifcenstmt. It is as
well their Glasgow hotd-roob
doors are sdflocking because

TH E fetching brochure for the

dered without a shot being

assumption that the defence of
a visiting side which has not
even drawn a match in the last
three years will eventually be
inundated. Scottish football
has suffered much of late and
here, apparently, is a chance
to take it out on someone.
After such tribulations at
dub level as Aberdeen’s de¬
feat. in the Uefa Cup. by
Skonto Riga, of Latvia, the
country would be pleased to
see the Scotland team do a
little bullying. Such atavistic
impulses, however, make life
awkward for Craig Brown, the
national coach. He is not given
to sneering at the opposition
yet must agree that the Faeroe
Islands should be trounced.
“We, too. would struggle.”
Brown admitted, searching
for an analogy, “if we could
only pick people born in
Kilmarnock " At the same
time, he is also droll in
disowning headlines which
quoted him as boasting that
Scotland “would take six off
the Faeroe Islands". Brown, a
former college lecturer protest¬
ed: “I would have said ‘take six
from the Faeroe Islands'."
This, though, is no time for
grammar, or even footballing,
formalities. Scotland must
seek immediate and overpow¬
ering control in this match. A
few injuries, notably to Gary
McAllister, the Leeds United
captain, have interfered with
Brown's plans, but he might
in any case have sacrificed one
of his customary midfield
players to include an extra
attacker. Pat Nevin, the
Tranmere Rovers winger, is
widely expected to make a rare
appearance in the line-up.
Brown may also be tempted to
field Scott Booth, the rena¬
scent Aberdeen striker who is
full of energy and goals.
Brown has built a patient,
methodical team. His great
asset is a midfield possessing
the dexterity of Paul McStay,
John Collins and McAllister,
whose careful work extracted
a fine 2-0 victory in Finland
last month. Tonight, though,
Scotland must play with some
abandon in attack.
The Faeroe Islands, with
their captain, Abraham Han¬
sen. at home because of work
commitments, should pose Lit¬
tle threat. Complacency is the
only real danger. Brown has
taken care to remind them.

LOU Macari has stoned a

dismissal. Macari. now man¬
ager of Stoke City, was dis¬
missed by Celtic managing
director. Fergus McCann, on
June 16 of this year.
He had been Celtic manag¬
er for little more than seven
months, and yesterday a sum¬
mons was raised with Scot¬
land's Court of Session
claiming £431,000 as "dam¬
ages against wrongful
dismissal".
Macari's solicitor. Derek
Currie, said: “A claim was
intimated to Celtic some weeks
ago. As a result of Celtic's
refusal to entertain this claim,
instructions were received to
raise court proceedings for
compensation arising out of
Mr Macari’s summary dis¬
missal. 1 can confirm that a
summons was served upon
Celtic Football Chib.”
Celtic have said they will
defend the action vigorously.
They have also cot firmed that
they will now proceed to sue

Hasegawa said that the first two

was no unanimity in the judgments of

On starts three, four and five, the
equipment called foul, but not the

He said Mansoor was responsible,
according to the equipment, for the

Master’s career
By Julian Muscat
THE racing career of Wagon

over after the four-year-old
recently sustained a tendon
injury that is under examina¬
tion by veterinarians.
Angus Gold^ racing manag¬
er to the coirs owner. Shaikh
Hamdan At-Maktoum, sug¬
gested yesterday that Wagon

the campaign mapped out for
him next season, culmi natin g

which, while!: not iife-threatenr
ing, is the kind that horses
rarely recover from. We will
know more once die vets have
scanned the limb and complet¬
ed their report."
Wagon Master’s premature
r e tirement wilLbe most' sorely
felt by his trainer', Alec Stew¬
art, who has brought the best
put of the cob this season. An
improving son of Rainbow
Quest, Wagon Master landed
three group races and finished
third behind King’s Theatre in
the King George VI and
Queen Elizabeth Diamond
Stakes at Ascot on his only
stan in group one company.
The irony behind Wagon
Master's injury is that connec¬
tions deliberately resisted the
temptation to supplement him
Wagon Master, winning the September Stakes at Kemp ton. may be forced into early retirement because of a tendon injury
for the Arc ten days ago. With
another season under his belt
Shaikh . Hamdan believed
Wagon Masters rate of im¬
provement would have given
him a realistic chance of
landing the Taxis showpiece.
. As for Stewart, Wagon Mas¬
ter has spearheaded his reviv¬
al this season ..after a
debilitating virus all but
brought his yard to a stand¬
still. Stewart would have lost

Ascot three weeks ago. but tbe
bolt travelled like a winner
throughout in dismissing Ur¬
gent Request by five lengths.
The career of Erhaab.
another of'Shaikh Hamdan’s
leading lights, also met with
an early conclusion when the
Derby winner was found to
have damaged suspensory fig-
aments. Meanwhile. Meht-
haaf. the shaikh's Irish 1,000
Guineas winner, remains
sound in limb after working
satisfactorily yesterday morn¬
ing on the Arundel gallops of
her trainer. John Dunlop.
However, no decision about
her participation in Satur¬
day's Champion Stakes at
Newmarket wifi be made until
the day before the race.
“Mr Dunlop will be return¬
ing home from the Newmar¬
ket sales on Friday morning,”
Gold said. “He wants to have
a look at her before making up
his mind, and I imagine he
will be pleased to hear of any
rain.” Mehthaafs last outing
saw her finish a disappointing
last of nine in the Queen
Elizabeth II Stakes, when she
showed signs of losing her
summer coat Her partidpa-
- non must be in serious doubt
If a spell of rain would suit
Mehthaaf, it would compro¬
mise the chances of Muhtar-
ram, Shaikh Hamdan's other
representative in the same
race. Although Muhtarram
sported blinkers when he
worked at Newmarket last
Saturday, Gold said it was in
the hands of his trainer, John
Gosden, whether the four-
year-old would wear them in
the big race.
David Loder's hopes that
Michael Kinane would be free
to partner La Confederation in
the Champion Stakes disap¬
peared yesterday when Kin¬
ane was claimed.to ride in
Ireland by his main employer.
Dermal Weld His place in the
saddle will go to Kevin Darley.
who steered La Confederation
to victory in the Sun Chariot
Stakes over the course and
distance last month.
La Confederation has been
quick to make her mark since
transferring to Loder from
Andre Fab re, where her aver¬
sion to starting stalls was
exacerbated by the stalls han¬
dlers in France. Her most
recent victory illustrated her
natural ability, as befits a
daughter of Nureyev and the
1987 Oaks heroine. Unite.
“She has come out of her
last race at Newmarket in
good shape,” Loder said yes¬
terday. “The Champion
. Stakes will be her last race of
the season: we have nothing to
lose and everything to gain."
La Confederation wifi have
to continue her improvement
if she is to dethrone Hatoof. a
runaway winner of the race 12
months ago. Hatoof remains
the 11-8 favourite with William
Hill, who then bet: 6-1
Muhtarram, 13-2 La Confeder¬
ation and Grand Lodge.

Clinical
skill of
Macfie
proves
decisive
From Colin McQutuan
IN ST PETER PORT,
GUERNSEY
SENG A Macfie. the Scottish
first string-who made head¬
lines Iasi week with her un¬
abashed self-analysis of a
strange sickness at winning
moments on court, enter¬
tained in quite different man¬
ner yesterday, taking a point
from South Africa with unex¬
pectedly dinicai skill in the
qualifying rounds of the wom¬
en's world team squash
championship here.
Macfie. 25, the former
England junior, now ranked
eighteenth in the world, who
transferred to Scotland late
last year on her grandmoth¬
er's antecedence, defeated
Claire Nitch, the world No 12.
JO- 8 , 0-9. 9-4. 9-4 in less than
half an hour of play in Pool A.
“It was an amazingly pro¬
fessional performance," Jo¬
nah Barrington, the Irish
former worldNo 1, said. He is
coaching the Dutch squad. “In
the last game of that match
Claire did not know what was
happening to her. where the
ball was coming from or how
to get out of trouble."
Barrington’s overview was
not entirely dispassionate. His
Dutch girls crashed to Sue
Cogswell's South Africans the
previous day and they face
Macfie and company today.
With the toprseeded champi¬
ons, Australia, also in Pool A,
Barrington's chances of guid¬
ing his new charges into
Friday's semi-finals are al¬
ready remote.
The England squad contin¬
ued blithely towards domina¬
tion of qualifying Pool B
yesterday with a M) win over
Germany.
Cassandra Jackman, a fi¬
nalist in the world open on
Sunday, dropped a game to a
sprightly attack from Sabine
Baum at first string, but Sue
Wright and Martine Le
Moignan were ruthless
against
Silke Bartel and Beate
Seidler.
In Pool E the Welsh second
siring. Sian Johnson yester¬
day fought back from 1-2 down
against Olga Puigedemont to
win 9-5. 5-9. 7-9. 9-4, 9-i
and secure a 3-0 vicrory over
Spain.
The 36-year-old Johnson is
here to complete a record of
10) caps for Wales and yester¬
day’s win was No 98, with
three days of play left if Wales
keep winning.

its violent surprises— and what do
you know? This week's Requiem
Apache, (by a different debut
water); shared precisely the same,
demerits.
Alfred Molina starred as One
Man and a Baby —■ a lugubrious
(Lfc characterless) former heist
driver, hiding tan from "the Club”
in rural Suffolk. But despite the
femfliarity ttf the narrative rruse en
sc&ne, The Killers h wasn’t, In
between threats from ■st r iat iri g
gangsters, Molina rode his push-
bike for entire scenes dr dandled-
baby on a pillow. Was he in
dangert . It- didn't feel like ft.
Molina jqst went with the flow —
whit* wais sluggish. "
Perhaps foe problem was that -
Requiem Apache wanted to be an
BBC1
unlucky for The new writer is

-Probably you have to choose. And
you certainly have to decide wheth¬
er your violence is comic-book or

Molina’s doorstep-did a Gokfberg-
McCann double act -- “You s5-
ways were funny." “Used to be."
“Used to be? Prior knowledge?"
"We all have... prior knowledge:"
— but as menacing verbals tins
was rubbish. Later it was dear
that the tiresome pair were meant
as .buffoons, but then they killed
Molina's doddery neighbour-.in a
hit-and-run, gratuitously revers¬
ing over the body. This - was
bordering on video-nasty — enter¬
tainment for drunks and hooli¬
gans.
On nv, foe Network First from
Granada was rather more certain
in tone. It was appalled, outraged,
and just a Bale self-importanL It
concerned chemical warfare ex¬
periments at Porton Down (dbamy
shots’ of barbed wire fences with.
sunsets behind), and it claimed
that Britain is dishonest in deny¬
ing continued involvement in re¬
searching new gases.
. It also fleshed out a story well
told in a BBC 2 Horizon in 1991,
about volunteer human guinea
pigs subjected to mustard gas and
nerve gas, who cant claim com¬
pensation because of the Official
Secrets Acl The long-term effects
of this stuff were never studied,
because long-term effects are the
last thing the Ministry of Defence
is interested in. In the early 1960s,
squaddie volunteers were lured by
recruitment films featuring bars,
billiards, and (strange, this) a
naked girl in a shower.
G UriousJy, the most sinister
bass-string treatment was
reserved for the British
scientists of 1945 who evidently
rushed into Nazi extermination
camps fervent to learn chemical
secrets, such as the exact , dose of
Zyklon B necessary to kill a room
fid of people. But was this evil, or
just the usual amoral scientific
curiosity? The major who fad these
investigations was shown in a
group photo (zooming In on the
guilty man) and we were encour¬
aged to despise him.
Meanwhile, BBel's new series
Natural Neighbours gave us a
celebration of the pig. an animal
that apparently has “misunder¬
stood” written all over it— or at
leasL in the parts where it doesn’t
say “Danish". Don’t think dirty.-
think intelligent don't think lazy,
think life-saving. Yes. Ptxscflla the
Pig once rescued a drowning child
— Pigs Might Fly reconstructed
the event, complete with thepig’s
impressive doggie-paddle Stated
underwater. On the other hand.
Pigs Might Fly also raised false
expectations. L mean, once you
have heard the, pig described as
“the rocket scientist of the animal
world", irs disappointing to see
that its big trick is to unroll a red
carpet (pushing with snout).
Presumably the idea for the
series is animal interaction with*
humans: and it seemed that pig s
certainly have that. Pigs trotted
through cat-flaps, a pig helped the
police (as a sniffer), and dead pigs
were- sanctified. A Houston
w«nan has turned her home into a
“shrme for swine" — commemo¬
rating Jerome, a pig who loved
her. When separated from her.

The Big Trip
BBC2 , 6.45pm
Television is not supposed to show the joins and least
of all in travel programmes. Where every TV traveller
goes a production crew is only yards behind, but
invisible to the viewer. The convention is dramatically
broken as two lads from Bristol University fetch up on
a remote Greek island. They arrange to meet their
director to film a local festival bur she does not appear.
It emerges dial she has fallen from a cliff and is badly
injured- The ostensible business of the programme is
abandoned as a helicopter whisks her off to hosnitaL
Happily, no such mishaps afflict the music-mad trio
from Glasgow, In Memphis they check out Elvis

Luther King was assassinated Peter Waymarit

Venables puts his trust in England’s maver

Le Tissier
at last gets
a stage for
his talents
By Rob Hughes, football correspondent
MATTHEW Le TissieTs mo¬
ment has arrived at last At
Wembley tonight, against the
unpredictable talents of Ro¬
mania, England's very own
maverick finally starts a
match for his country, two
days short of his 26th
birthday.
The Southampton playmate
er and top goalscorer is
included in a side that gives a
debut cap to Robert Lee, a
recall to Ian Wright and the
captain's armband to Tony
Adams. But it is the class of Lie
Tissier. the faith in quality,
that brings a frisson of
anticipation to what could

now be an audience in excess
of50,000. Nobody knows how
the Guernsey-bom stroller
will take to the international
stage, just as nobody can be
sure whether Romania will be
in the exultant form that
defeated Argentina at the
World Cup in July, or the
desultry Romanians who
mustered not one shot on the
French goal in Paris on Satur¬
day. a team content to play out
a soulless and scoreless draw.
But it is high time England
found out about Le Tissier.
At the stan of this year,
when Terry Venables became
coach, Jimmy Armfield. the
Football Association's profes¬
sional adviser, pleaded: “I
hope people leave him to get
on with the job of selecting a
squad and a pattern of play...
That depends on players, and
England is short of creative
players."
Exactly so. Now. ten months
and five internationals later,
Venables introduces Le Tis¬
sier, the most obviously talent¬
ed player in the land yet to win
a full cap. “Matt is an obvious
talent," Venables agrees. “It's
there for all to see, the way he
creates and scores. But the
clamour has been hysterical I
have had to be calmer because
I know the gap from the
Premier League to interna¬
tional football is a huge step.”
The idea that Venables was
nursing Le Tissier, the
thought that his chance ar¬
rives principally because
Beardsley and Anderton are
injured, do not hide the im¬
pression that the England
coach has been reluctant to
trust Le Tissier for a full 90
minutes. Now, Venables as¬
serts that his maverick is
ready, that he detects a hunger
within him to get out onto the
stage and prove his time has
come.
Le Tissier scored 25 of 39
Southampton goals last sea¬
son. and in four out of five
seasons outscored everyone at
the chib, even Shearer when
he was there. On top of that he
imprints on a game an expres¬
sion of beauty and mastery of
. the ball. His. industry can be
wasted on his dub colleagues;
with better players around
him, it ought to be more
profitable.
Speaking of profit there
was speculation yesterday that
Manchester United would
happily relieve Southampton
of Le Tissier in exchange for £5
million. Nothing doing, the
south coast dub says. Its
director. Lawrie McMenemy.
insists that Le Tissier is with¬
out price, that the club intends
to build around him. Indeed, it
was McMenemy. who never
seemed to prompt Graham
Taylor to select him for Eng¬
land, who said ar the weekend:

“Matt’s been in that category
of player who seemed to move
only when he thought some¬
thing was going to happen.
We told him that he’s got to
move into other positions, to
become more mobile and be¬
come more involved. 1 '
Mobility is a key word in
Venables’s vocabulary. He
used it to describe what he
admires in the industrious
Lee. and he will use it in the
dressing-room today when he
is likely to ask Wright and
Shearer to run wide to the
flanks, attempting to draw the
compact Romanian defence
open so dial Le Tissier and Lee
can exploit the openings.
However, the strong seam
of caution that runs through
Venables, the justified respect
he has for the breathtaking
counter-attacks of Romania,
require also responsibility and
discipline. Adams, his new
leader, will organise it from
the back; bice will be tie

with h&tdattvely new appro-,
elation of defensive, awareness

Clay-coart specialists pose difficult Davis Cup hurdle
By Stuart Jones
TENNIS CORRESPONDENT
GREAT BRITAIN may not yet have
reached the nadir in the Davis Cup.
The team, which has reached unprec¬
edented depths in dropping down to
group two of the Euro-African zone,
was yesterday drawn to play Slova¬
kia next April, probably in Bratisla¬
va. and certainly on day.
The surface is the critical factor, as
was demonstrated most recently in
PDrto six months ago. Then, in a tie
which was to be Tony Pickard's last
as captain, Britain were defeated by
three Portuguese players, all of
whom were appredably lower in the
world rankings.
Slovakia have one representative
who is higher than both Jeremy Bates
and Mark Fetchey, the nation's No 1
and No 2. Karol Kucera is seventieth.
A day-court specialist ha also prom¬
ises to attract vociferous local sup¬
port. Bom in Bratislava, he still
resides there.
Tall and right-handed, the 20-year-
old Kucera would not pose such a
significant threat on any other sur¬
face (Perchey. for instance, has beaten
him twice him this year, inducting in
the US Open). Nor would his
colleagues, whose status is not so
elevated.
On day, however, Slovakia is
considered to be the strongest of the
16 countries in the group with the
exception of Ukraine, who can call on
Andrei Medvedev. Conversely. Brit¬
ain cannot be regarded as formidable
even when performing on their

favourite surface, grass. Two months
ago the team, led for fiie first time by
Billy Knight, went down to their fifth
successive defeat. Romania, the un¬
heralded op ponents on the Didsbury
lawn, included a 17-year-old novice
who remained unbeaten' in the
relegation play-off.

Knight, naturally, views the prosr
pect of the inaugural tie againfl
Slovakia with guarded optimism. “If
we are going to win jjromofioti. we
have got to bear guys like this,”.be
said with logic wfrich was flawless.
“If w* play wdL we have a good
chance."
Whatever Britain's fate, the subse¬
quent appointment in September will
again be away, in either Egypt or
Monaco. Success would lead to an
uplifting trip to the winners of that
tie. Failure would lead to the most
ignominious of journeys to dispute
relegation with me losers.
Tltis years finalists have both .been
given less titan comfortable draws in
the world group. Russia and Sweden,
who are to meet in Moscow at tbe
beginning of December, will start
their fresh dtalkaiges for the Cup in
Switzerland land Denmark respecK
trreiy-'.
Nor have tbe top seeds been treated
favourably. The United States will
play France, and Germany take an
the newcomers from Croatia, who
are represented by Goran Ivanisevic.
Among a record entry of 115 nations,
six will be making their first appear¬
ance in the competition next year.
They are Bermuda, Ethiopia, Ka¬
zakhstan, Macedania.Moldavia and
a team formed by r islands to be
known as -Pacific Gcbamai fitThe
